# “style.css” missing

 * Hi all,
 * I have WordPress 6.6.1 and have installed theme twenty-seventeen. And now I try
   to install “options-for-twenty-seventeen” by using the standard procedure as 
   described, uploading the zip file to my WP installation. But it fails, telling
   me that the “style.css” file is missing. Looking into the zip, I see, that there
   is indeed no such file.
   When I do the same with the twenty-nineteen file, the
   same happens: “style.css is missing”, and no style.css file in the zipped file.
   What am I missing? Is there another way of installing these “options-for…” themes?
   Kind regards
 * Michael

 * Hi Michael,
 * This is a pretty easy one to solve 🙂
 * You are downloading a plugin for the Twenty Seventeen theme. This isn’t a theme.
   So you have to upload it as a plugin, not as a theme.
 * If all you want is the Twenty Seventeen theme then you can install that by going
   to “Dashboard – Appearance – Themes – Add New Theme” and searching for it to 
   install.
