FAQ
Below are some of the most common questions related to our Themes.
The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet – this is probably the single most asked question related to WordPress. It doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with the theme, you just need to uninstall the first package. Inside you will find the Theme, documentation, necessary plugins, child theme, and demo content. So make sure that the file you are uploading is named simply everly-lite.zip which is the main theme.
