Hi everyone, I am in the very beginning of starting a personal blog and I am new to word press. I have my site hosted on cloudways with SSL through cloud flare. I just downloaded a theme from etsy that was in a zip file and uploaded to word press and I am now trying to download the required plug ins but I am getting this error message on both of the plug ins that are from external sources.
It says this:
# Installing Plugin: WP Mega Menu
The plugin does not have a valid header.
Downloading installation package from [https://www.artstudioworks.net/recommended-plugins/wp-megamenu.zip…](https://www.artstudioworks.net/recommended-plugins/wp-megamenu.zip…)
Download failed. cURL error 7: Failed to connect to [www.artstudioworks.net](http://www.artstudioworks.net) port 443: Connection refused
It says this same thing for both of the two plug ins I am trying to install. Please let me know how I can go about getting this fixed. I have googled and asked the creator of the theme but have yet to hear back.
Thank you!

I’m sorry to say but I think you may have been ripped off. I wouldn’t buy a theme from Etsy, and that domain is hosting spam advertising and redirects. As you can see from the error it doesn’t even support HTTPS.
I would purchase a theme from a reputable vendor, and I would assume that your theme contained malicious code as well, so I would start over with a fresh theme. There are lots of good theme recommendations in this sub if you search.
Get refund and if you are going to buy a theme, buy one that is well maintained / supported from theme forest.
Seems like the one you bought, uses plugins that require a license which you don’t have.
