Hi,

Thanks for your interest in this theme.

Are you uploading the zip file that you download from the marketplace or the unzipped version?

I did actually buy it already. i unzipped the file on my local computer and uploaded it to the packages folder.

so currently i have
/packages/theme_stellar

inside this directory is all these files:
INSTALL.TXT
LICENSE.TXT
blocks/
controller.php
icon.png
src/
themes/

when i go to add functionality nothing shows under awaiting installation.

Do you have anything else installed?

Is the packages folder set to chmod 0777?

nothing else is installed. and the Stellar_Theme folder is 755 as is the Packages folder

What permissions are on your packages folder?

755

I just checked your Environment info. Are you using an old version of concrete5?

Stellar is not compatible with concrete5.6

guess thats why. thank you.

I now got it installed after upgrading my install of concrete 5. now how do i go about activating this theme? it isn't listed under themes

Once you get it installed it should appear in the themes section.

Can you uninstall and then reinstall it in the add functionality section of the admin panel

that worked. i got it going now. thank you very much!
