Style.css Missing?
It’s really critical that you don’t forget that certain products (such as those from Themeforest or Codecanyon) come with double compression, which is, a zip file inside another Zip file.
Check the package after downloading before Uploading to see if this is the case, and if it is, the main zip you downloaded will not be the installable one, which will lead to compilation errors such as “The CSS stylesheet is missing,” for example.
Instead, you have to install the corresponding Zip file in the Subfolder.

Minimum Requirements
You have to make sure the WordPress installation meets the recommended minimum specifications:
Apache or NGINX-based webserver with 128MB of RAM PHP version 5.6 or 7.0 MySQL version 5.6+ or MariaDB version 10.0+ Apache Module mod_rewrite
upload_max_filesize = 128M;
max_input_vars = 5000;
PHP time limit = 600;
Max input time = 300;
memory_limit = 256M;
post_max_size = 128M;
You can follow this instruction to Edit the necessary settings in one of those 3 Files, php.ini, wp-config.php, or .htaccess (if you run an Apache server) in your WordPress installation, though we recommend using either a php.ini / user.ini or wp-config.php file:
For very large themes or plugins of more than 64 megabytes (which often include remade templates), it is necessary that the upload be executed via FTP.
