 * I just joined WordPress yesterday. And after a long extensive search found a 
   really neat Theme. The upload failed. I got this message:
 * **Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-1817036-attracto-html-responsive-
   theme.zip
    Unpacking the package…
 * Installing the theme…
 * The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
 * Theme install failed.
 * Just a note: I am an old man from the typewriter generation. So if anyone can
   give advise (in plain simple language) how to fix this problem, or direct me 
   to a tutorial/etc., on how to fix. I will be grateful. Thanks for taking the 
   time. – Ahanu
 * P.S. I didn’t include my site URL because It is not up and running yet.

 * Hey there,
 * I suspect (but could be wrong) that the theme is either within another folder
   or another compressed file of the zip archive you have.
 * You could uncompress the file and upload manually via FTP or your cPanel file
   manager (or similar if not using cPanel).
 * Unfortunately we won’t be able to assist further here, you see that’s a premium
   theme and as such we can’t provide support from WP.org as per the forum rules:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products)
 * You will need to get support from the author of the theme you purchased:
 * [http://themeforest.net/item/attracto-html-responsive-template/1817036/support](http://themeforest.net/item/attracto-html-responsive-template/1817036/support)
 * Sorry I can assist further on here, hope you get it all sorted 🙂
 * Have a great weekend!

 * Thank you, Timothy. I will take your advise, and read further on this subject
   matter. There is a solution to every problem. It’s just a matter of time.
 * Once again. Thank you, and also you have a great weekend. – Ahanu
