plz note that i have installed the newspaper.zip (not all the zipped package)
plz help

This almost always means you’re uploading the ‘all files’ zip vs the theme zip which *does* have the style sheet in there (unzip it to see!). 🙂

hello Chris
i swear this is the original theme zip file
below is a printscreen inside the wp-content/themes/newspaper
http://prntscr.com/gmpw25

its very weired!

Upload via FTP. Unzip on your PC, then upload folder – (when you unzip on your PC you can *see* what’s there BEFORE uploading!).

Remember to delete old folder; upload new one (don’t mix old/new theme folder).

i deleted everything including wordpress and then istalled from scratch, it worked

thanks a lot @Chris S

Kindest Regards

Been there!

Once that happened to me it was the stupid server side unzip utility timed out and was missing two folders and half the root files from theme. Doh.

Back to “only” doing this on local machine THEN uploading to server.

Not like I’m paranoid … oh wait! I *am* ! 🙂
