 * Hi, I just tried to install a theme, using the zip file I downloaded from themeforrest,
   and I am getting an error saying the theme cannot be installed because it is 
   missing the “style.css” file. But when I unzip the file myself I can see the 
   style.css file is in the zip folder. I’ve tried reinstalling the theme a few 
   times with no new results. I didn’t want to go to themeforrest first because 
   I can actually see the file myself, so I thought it might be an issue in WordPress.
   Anyone have this issue, or anyone know where I should start to try to get it 
   resolved?
 * Thanks

 * I just tried to upload a themeforrest theme as a zip file and I am having a different
   kind of issue. I get this message:
 * The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
 * The file is only 3.14 mb.

 * I got mine resolved. The theme had a zip folder inside the folder after you unzip
   it. Confusing, but solved.

 * I unzipped the big theme folder, found the theme folder within in, and then zipped
   that (since WordPress doesn’t seem to let you upload unzipped file). That’s when
   I got the error message.
