  Hi there,

  It seems like you’re trying to upload your theme to the Media Library, which is causing the error you mentioned. To correctly install a theme on WordPress.com, upload it through the themes section, not the Media Library.

  I recommend following this step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth process: https://wordpress.com/support/themes/uploading-setting-up-custom-themes/

  If you have any other questions or run into any issues, don’t hesitate to ask. I’m here to help.

  Hey there,

  Many thanks for reaching out.

  It appears this file is already present in your media library as post 1277!

  To check, are you uploading the theme here: https://theweirdhousewife.com/wp-admin/theme-install.php?browse=popular > Upload.

  Also, are you able to tell me where you first acquired the theme please? This will help us to locate the appropriate steps to get that installed for you.

  Looking forward to hearing from you!
