 * Bought a theme and used it for [http://samesideentertainment.com](http://samesideentertainment.com)
   a while ago.
    Tried to use it for new site but now it says
 * >  Unpacking the package…
   > Installing the theme…
   > The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the index.php file.
   > Theme install failed.
 * and
 * >  Unpacking the package…
   > Installing the theme…
   > The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the Style.CSS file.
   > Theme install failed.
 * When I go into the zip folder, I see the Style.CSS and the Index.PHP so what 
   gives?
