Stylesheet Missing Issue When Installing This Theme

This is a common issue. It means that you uploaded the full package. You just need to unzip the package and find Foxiz.zip archive to install.

The message you see​

The exact message is The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

WordPress's theme upload result: The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. Theme installation failed.

Find the right file to upload​

WordPress is not looking at the file's name. It opens the zip, expects a single folder inside it, and requires style.css at the top of that folder. The full package is a folder of many things, so nothing is where WordPress expects.

That also tells you how to recognise the right file after you unzip: it is the archive that unpacks to one folder with style.css directly inside it, alongside functions.php and index.php. Anything holding documentation, a licence, or several zips is not it.

If the message says the template is missing​

note

If the message says Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a templates/index.html or index.php template file instead, you have uploaded the child theme rather than the theme. Install the parent first; the child theme goes on afterwards and is installed the same way.
