Folks!
I am having problem uploading "ShopKeeper" theme on WordPress which is running on my own computer. I am a newbie and learning WordPress but whenever I upload theme it says (the error in the image)
enter image description here
I am using Xampp
I cannot comment yet, so this will be as an answer.
From what I see, it looks like you are trying to unpack the wrong zip file.
Please open the Archive you downloaded, you should then see a folder named Theme Files, or something similar, and you will find inside a .zip file.
Try to install the archive located here, and it should work.
Also, if it's not working yet, it might be due to permissions, which I don't believe. You should check your error logs. You will find them under the folder Applications of Xampp.

I recently set up a WAMP server using phpMyAdmin and am having issues displaying images pulled from my website hosted via Pantheon. I've got everything running fine, but the images will not display.
I've exported my website's database via Pantheon and imported with phpMyadmin and the theme loads correctly, but not any images. It's running on WordPress as well. I've tried to find specific examples of this happening, but I'm not sure what the deal is. Any information would be appreciated.
If i get it right you exported you wp site and imported it at a local machine ?
Have you checked / changed the site url in wp ?
If in wp the site url dont match the real url the links to the files can get broken ..
Look at our site code in browser and there you should find the image link to see what wp realy try to load.
Solved. Had to extract the contents of the .tar file into the "uploads" directory, twice. There was no explanation to do this in any of the documentation I could find, I didn't understand how .tar files work.
I am a newbie using TortoiseSVN and I have created a basic plugin in the WordPress directory but I want to just update the description page (readme file) but couldn't do so.
The following are my steps:
Make changes to the readme file on my local computer.
Right-click on the readme file and select 'SVN Commit' (No errors, but this won't update the official plugin page hosted over at WordPress directory).
Right-click on trunk folder then select 'Branch/tag', point to existing tags/1.4 but the error says that the file exists...
May I know which step I have done wrong?
I have viewed the following thread but still couldn't find the solution myself...

I would appreciate any help from someone, thank you!
I'm trying to install WordPress for local use with XAMPP. I started off by installing and unzipping both the XAMPP and WordPress folders. I placed the XAMPP folder in my C:/ drive and my WordPress folder within the "htdocs" folder. After that, I made a new "config" file for my local server based on the "config-sample" file.
Here's where things get tricky: when I try to use the "install.php" file, I am brought to a screen that asks for credentials. I give it some generic credentials and then I submit it in order to install WordPress. However, when I submit the form, the loaded page is completely blank and the URL appears as "localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php?step=2".
When I go into the database, it shows me that WordPress created all of the necessary tables, but didn't create any log-in credentials for me. I was doing some research and there were a couple pages that mentioned the need for increased PHP RAM, but I'm unsure of how to increase the RAM for local use or if it's even a problem. If anyone had an error like this happen to them, I would really appreciate some feedback as to what could be causing this problem.
I had the same exact problem, with an almost blank screen on step-2 passage.
Adding in wp-config.php these lines solved everything:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
set_time_limit(60);
I've installed Wordpress 4.0 from a zip file on XAMPP 1.8.3 on my Win7-32bit PC.
Setting up the DB and all, I got the same "blank screen" at the step 2.
So, I went in to phpMyAdmin, and edited the "wp_users" table on my entry. I modified the user_login and the user_password (using an MD5 converter). Saved the entry and got into the localhost url for wordpress. Got into the log in, and everything seems to be working without any issues.
As a note: I installed a fresh/clean install so there were no custom themes nor plugins.
Hope that helps.
I am trying to install a theme I downloaded from this website.
I am using XAMPP and I am not sure how to install this dowloaded theme using XAMPP.
I tried installing this theme with the zip folder (in zip format) in Wordpress but I get the error
” The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed. “
I found a similar on Wordpress website but they mentioned using FTP but I don’t know how to use FTP with XAMPP
I want to install the theme and test it out locally before I make it live or buy a domain name.
This is my first time doing this (I am a student) so I don’t totally know how things work together, don’t know if I am using the description/terms but I hope I described the problem well enough.
How to go about this? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
OK so its a bit weird that the theme you downloaded is missing the CSS file. When you upload it Wordpress is trying to find that file and failing. For now, let's assume that the creator of the theme put the CSS file in a different location than usual.
To install a theme manually via XAMPP do the following:
Locate XAMPP's htdocs folder. This is normally Applications>>XAMPP>>HTDOCs on Mac or My Computer>>C:>>XAMPP>>HTDOCs on Windows (I think - someone might need to correct me on that).
If your site is installed in a sud-directory in htdocs, go there. If not skip to next step.
Open the wp-content folder
Open the themes folder
Copy in your downloaded theme and extract it there (if its zipped)
Go to your Wordpress Dashboard and go to the Appearance button on the left and click Themes from the drop down. Find your newly installed theme and hit Activate.
That should do the trick unless your theme is missing some vital elements
(PS: what your are doing here - moving (theme) files from one location to another - is essentially the same as FTP. Difference is FTP allows you to transfer files accross the internet from computer to computer: say your computer to a web server hosting your site.)
Add this lines to your wp-config.php file
//** To add the direct installation of the themes **//
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
Then go to wp-admin and click on customize your site. Press on change button on the active theme and browse for your favorite theme from wordpress.org and install then enjoy
I downloaded the lates wordpress version then uncompressed it.
Because I had already an old version of wordpress, I have wp tables on my local server.
Anyway, I don't think it comes from the old content.
After that, I set up the right server and database values in the "wp-config.php" file.
Then, when I wanted to run WordPress (myblog/index.php), nothing happens and, worse, a 404 error.
I thought it was my easyphp server, so I uploaded the whole database and wordpress on my website.
Nothing but a 404 error page again even if the file does exist!
Can you help me please? should I activate something to enable the first run?
Thank you very much.
Regards.
Did you
1) Upload the files to the correct location on the server?
2) Upload the correct files? (e.g are the actual WordPress files contained in a sub folder?
3) Ensure the correct privileges are set on the folder and files?
4) Follow the instructions in the downloaded package (e.g. run install.php)?
Did you run the install script? After copying the files to the server, you must run the install script at myblog/wp-admin/install.php
try and go to Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and just click "Save Changes" and see if that helps
