The “failed” to import error is usually 1 of 2 things. xml file the theme developer was so nice to provide you with and yet again you get an error! You’ve got your theme installed and now you are uploading a sample. Once found zip it and upload via WordPress or upload the unzipped folder via FTP. Generally it’s somewhere obvious and the actual theme folder will likely be named the same as the theme. For example our premium themes all have the theme inside an “Installable Theme” folder. Now when you open it you should see all your files in there, if not the theme is likely in a sub-directory. Locate the folder you have of the theme on your desktop and open it (if it is zipped, unzip and open it).
Of course it is possible the zip file you received didn’t have a style.css file, but more likely the issue is you didn’t upload the root theme folder. “the developer screwed me and gave me a theme without a stylesheet”
