 * I am trying to upload to wordpress here is my CSS:
 * /*
    Theme Name: Health Brown Theme URI: [http://www.iHealthMarket.com](http://www.iHealthMarket.com)
   Description: A 3 column health theme in brown, orange and black colors and with
   2 widgetready sidebars on each side. Author: iHealthMarket Version: 1.2.0 License:
   GNU General Public License, v3 (or newer) License URI: [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html)
   Tags: fixed-width, three-columns, black, orange */
 * Here is the error it returns when uploading to authors area:
 * Version strings can only contain numberic and period characters (like 1.2). Please
   fix your Version: line in style.css and upload your theme again.
 * My strings clearly contain numberic and period characters.
 * Any ideas?

 * What happens if you just remove the Version line and then upload?

 * Aha! I solved mine: I hade typed “Only in premium version:” in the description
   and the system thinks that this is where the version number should be. I simply
   used other words and now it passed the scanning. 🙂
