Cannot install Drupal 8 theme - drupal

Install Drupal 8 Theme Simple Process I want to install a new theme in Drupal 8, but at the end of the installation it gives me an error saying:
does not contain any .info.yml files
even though it is a Drupal 8 theme.
Is there a way that I manually can create .info.yml file or any other solution?

You don't need to create an info.yml file.
The method you followed export the zip file that contains the theme and let Drupal handle the rest.
The zip file you downloaded does not contain directly the theme, but also some other files.
Solution: Extract your zip file, and upload just the zip that contains your theme, in your case "zircon_d8-8.1.1".

You have the info.yml file though, at themes/zircon/ you have the theme file: zircon.info.yml

Check that your files installed properly. I tried to look at the Zip file from the Zircon site but it was a bit odd and had two sub folders each compressed (the theme itself zircon_d8-8.0.0.zip which I couldn't open and zircon_d8-demo-8.0.0.zip which has a full drupal install). If you look in the folder zircon_d8-demo-8.0.0.zip\zircon_d8\themes you'll see the folder zircon. That's probably the file you need. For what it's worth The zircon.info.yml file begins:
name: Zircon
type: theme
base theme: classy
description: 'A flexible, recolorable theme with many regions and a responsive, mobile-first layout.'
package: Core
version: 8.0.0
core: 8.x
...
Which looks fine to me. Don't know why they messed up.

How to customize DSpace theme?

I have installed DSpace on my PC. I am using Mirage as a default theme and now I want to customize it for my DSpace. I want to change CSS files (redesign it), but I don't know the steps to properly set my customizations. I can edit my CSS files in [dspace]/webapps/themes/Mirage/lib/css/ folder, but after rebuilding DSpace they will be removed. What is the correct way doing customizations over already installed theme? Should I edit CSS files and add them to [dspace-source]/dspace/modules/src/main/ folder and then rebuild my webapps? I have read official documentation about that, but I couldn't find proper answer to my question.
Create a folder for your theme in [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapps/theme/[yourTheme]
Copy the CSS (or js or xsl) files you wish to modify into that directory - you can find a copy of the source files in [dspace-install] as you have referenced, or you can find them on the project github page
Edit your changes
Run the maven build in [dspace-src]/dspace: "dspace package" - this command will pull the source files for the theme and overlay your customizations. The results are built into the "target" folder.
cd into [dspace-src]/dspace/target/dspace-installer
Run "ant update" - this command will take the built files and install them into [dspace-install]
Restart tomcat

SilverStripe Swipestripe - swipestripe-gallery module error

I've installed Swipestripe module. and added swipestripe-gallery module for product images.
when I did dev/bulid?flush=1 it shows error Class 'Gallery_PageExtension' does not exists
I have seen gallery.yml file in swipestripe-gallery/_config folder, which has
Product:
extensions:
- 'Gallery_PageExtension'
but this class is not there in Product.php file in swipestripe-gallery/code folder.
After commenting above code I did dev/build?flush=1 & there was no error. But in product page the Gallery tab is not added.
Please Help.
You didn't install using composer? Your fault ;) It installs all requirements for you and you can code happy.
See https://github.com/swipestripe/silverstripe-swipestripe-gallery#requirements, you'll need to install https://github.com/frankmullenger/silverstripe-gallery for getting this gallery extension in your codebase.
I strongly encourage you to install ALL modules with composer. It may be a bit hard in the beginning, but in some days your life will be much more comfortable! A good introduction can be found in the ss docs.
Swipestripe's config does not have that code: https://github.com/swipestripe/silverstripe-swipestripe/blob/2.1/_config/swipestripe.yaml
The gallery module for it does: https://github.com/swipestripe/silverstripe-swipestripe-gallery/blob/1.1/_config/gallery.yml
These are two separate modules. If the gallery file is in swipestripe/_config as you say, then it would seem to me that the install didn't happen as it should.
There should be two folders in your installation root
swipestripe/
swipestripe-gallery/
All files relating to each module should be in each (individual) folder. It seems you're missing the swipestripe-gallery folder all together, meaning that the class in fact does not exist (When you get this error, just check that the class exists somewhere in your install. Using grep is the easiest way).

How to install site-specific modules in a Drupal 7 multi-site?

I have a "multi-site" installation of Drupal 7, which means that I have these folders in my "sites" folder:
all
domain.one
domain.two
domain.x
And in each of these folders, I also have "modules" and "themes" folders.
If I click the "install new module" link on the modules page ("admin/modules") from any domain X, Drupal tries to download modules in the "all/modules" folder instead of the "X/modules" folder.
Maybe I am not using the proper phrase to search in Google, but I do not see similar problems, so it may just be my problem.
How to install site-specific modules in a Drupal 7 multi-site?
You can try the example detailed out in this post: http://www.pixelclever.com/how-set-up-drush-for-multisite-installation which basically requires you to create a drushrc.php file for each multisite, which includes the path to the respective modules folder.
Here are the lines from that post that explain
To start, go to your drush folder where you will find a file entitled example.drushrc.php. Copy that file into the individual site folder in your Drupal multisite installation (sites/yourmultisite), and rename the file to drushrc.php.
Now open that file and add the following line:
$command_specific['dl']['destination'] = 'sites/yourmultisite/modules';
or
$command_specific['dl']['destination'] = 'sites/yourmultisite/modules/contributions';
This is also a step by step walkthrough of the updating process using drush on multisites.
http://rinen.net/2013/02/updating-a-drupal-multisite-using-drush/
I found good article for multisite install here,
http://mydons.com/drupal-7-multisite-install-steps-in-linux/
http://mydons.com/drupal-7-multisite-install-steps-in-windows/
This worked for me:
Changed working directory on terminal to specific site directory
i.e. "cd [drupal_site_directory]/sites/[site_one]/ "
use usual drush command to install modules i.e. "drush dl [module_name]"
Hope this might help you guys also.

Unable to upload new theme to wordpress from dashboard

I installed wp to a server for the first time. The basic theme works and I can change the settings but I bought a new wordpress theme and was trying to upload it from the dashboard:
But it gives me an error each time:
These were suggestions I found online but didn't work:
So I tried to change the permissions of all of the folders to 755. And then I changed the permissions of the file update.php to 755 also but I still get the same error. I also tried editing the .htaccess of the folder 'AALimo' (folder which contains the wp dir) but that didn't work either. I'm not sure if I edited the .htaccess properly.
I just manually uploaded the theme into the theme directory using ftp instead of the theme uploader from dashboard and that worked.
I did it using C-Panel. I had to upload zip file in WordPress theme folder in public html. extract the zip file and you can install it easily .

Build script not working with HTML5Boilerplate new download

My first problem was that, though the documentation warned the JDK was required, and though I set the bin directory to that of the JDK, tools.jar was being searched for in the JRE folder. This made no sense, but I copied the tools.jar file over and it got past that problem. The next problem I had was the build script failing due to a failure to find a main.css file. I'm on a Windows 7 machine, and this is what I did to attempt the build:
Downloaded WinAnt v7 and installed it, specifying the jdk1.7.0_04/bin folder when asked for a Java directory.
Downloaded and unpacked a brand new package from HTML5Boilerplate, keeping the extra comments and such.
Downloaded the build project, unpacked it, and dropped its contents into a build folder at the root of the HTML5Boilerplate folder.
Opened a command prompt, navigated to the build directory, and ran the ant command.
The only thing I could think of that was causing the JDK/JRE problem was that this is a 64-bit system. That's just a guess, but the copied file worked OK for now.
This process performs some of the work without complaint, creating intermediate and publish directories, but then fails out, saying that it can't find a main.css file to copy. I want to stress that I didn't make any modifications at all to the files, so I'm confused as to why the build script can't find a file I didn't remove or rename. In the config/default.properties file of the build folder, on lines 74 and 80, it hard-codes main.js and main.css as file names used. I'm not sure if those are supposed to be dynamically generated, or if they must be manually created and included in the project for the build script to run. If so, why doesn't the default structure downloaded from the website have them? If they're dynamically created, I need advice on what is going wrong.
I'd really like to get this up and running so I can get started using HTML5Boilerplate, but I'm a little lost here.
-edit
After renaming the styles.css file to main.css, the build completed correctly, but the resulting files aren't correct. I read that the script would update the html file references to css and javascript files, but it didn't. For instance, I ended up with e68668b.css after the script ran, but the html file still referenced styles.css. Same for the javascript file. Help!
I found the problem. The build script is now a separate project, which I downloaded from github. I downloaded the HTML5Boilerplate zip file from the HTML5Boilerplate website, which unfortunately still has the old folder structure. I went to github and downloaded the HTML5Boilerplate template there, and that made the difference.
The HTML5Boilerplate website's link points to github's 3.0.2 version
The github's link points to version 3.0.2-69
And that's all she wrote. The names of some files changes, as well as some of the folder structure, between these two versions, and the build script I downloaded referenced the newest structures.
