 * I purchased a theme from themeforest.com and I can’t get it to install on my 
   computer. It’s called Chromonium business theme and I tried compressing it to
   a .zip file…didn’t work. Then I checked the installation instructions, which 
   said to install only the chromonium folder…wouldn’t let me do that. When I compressed
   it to a .zip, it came up saying that the style sheet is missing. Any ideas on
   how I can get it installed?

 * unzip the folder you got as there must be other folders and files zipped together
   once unzipped using ftp upload Chromonium in wp-content/themes and there may 
   be pulugins that theme uses upload plugin folder in wp-content/plugins

 * Ok, I don’t understand how to use ftp to upload…the only way I know how is to
   go to Themes, then install themes, then upload. It asks for a .zip file and when
   I try to do it unzipped it won’t let me access the entire folder at once. How
   do I use ftp to install? Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it. I’m
   new at this.

 * Does anyone know how to put something like QUICKPRESS from the DASHBOARD right
   onto the site so anyone can leave comments and media? I know this is off topic
   but i dont even know how to use these forums

 * [@humanwill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/humanwill/) As I said the reason
   you are not seeing your theme is because your theme folder is inside the zip 
   folder that they gave you.
 * when you upload using wordpress admin panel it uploads fine but is not uploaded
   in right place.
 * If you have access to cpanel if that is what you use then go in
    wp-content/themes
   and you will see a folder they gave you unzipped. Click on that folder inside
   you will see your themes folder along with some other files and folders they 
   gave you.
 * Move that theme folder Chromonium in themes folder
    now if you go in admin you
   should see your theme.

 * [@craigstruck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craigstruck/) You need to 
   start thread of your own so that you get help.
 * You can check into a plugin that will do that.
