# Getting duplicate theme error

 * I am getting this error when trying to upload a custom purchased theme.
 * “Duplicate theme and author URLs. A theme URL is a page/site that provides details
   about this specific theme. An author URL is a page/site that provides information
   about the author of the theme. You aren’t required to provide both, so pick the
   one that best applies to your URL.”
 * I know that in the CSS I should change either URL or URI however if I try to 
   save that back into the zip it will not work…I am a newb…any help?

 * You shouldn’t be receiving that error. How are you trying to upload the theme?
   Have you spoken to your theme’s vendors? After all, support is part of what you
   paid for.
