I purchased Specular WP theme and downloaded the installable wordpress file only from themeforest.net. The file was not named specular.zip but it is a zip file. This is the error message i receive in the admin panel after going to upload the theme under appearances tab:
<h1>Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-9412083-specular-responsive-multipurpose-business-theme-wordpress-theme.zip</h1>
Unpacking the package…
it shows a file with the same name containing these 4 folders; specular, licensing, documentation AND a zip specular folder – and this seems to be the zip that is to be uploaded through admin panel. Not sure why I don’t find the same items when I downloaded a file with same name. thanks
You should upload only the ‘specular’ folder. If you will use wordpress dashboard, then zip it and upload. If you will use ftp, then upload it directly into your wp-content/themes folder.
The other folders are for alternative use. The documentation containing theme documentation, the licence files, demo sliders to import if you want to use any pre-created sliders and the child theme if you’ll want to use a child theme instead.
In the tutorial, we created before the zip file in order to show how it is uploaded from the dashboard. It has no difference with the one included, just zip it.
