WordPress can’t find my style.css file. It’s clearly in the file

[Inside Zip File]) [There’s also this?])

Hi, I really want to make an invitation website for a Halloween party using a theme I bought. I just figured out how to use WordPress (.org) after a few hours of troubleshooting. I’m a CS Major this is so embarrassing. It’s supposed to look like this: [screenshot of template]), this is what it looks like [screenshot of what template looks like right now])

When I first tried to install the theme, it said the style.css file is missing.

Troubleshooting:

I installed and activated Elementor because it’s required.

followed this list of potential reasons none of which I think fit.

>The style.css file is missing from your theme’s root directory because the theme developer made a mistake. The style.css file is missing from the directory because you accidentally deleted it at some point. The style.css file is actually in the root directory, but you haven’t uploaded the directory to WordPress correctly. It sometimes happens when you don’t unzip the file before uploading. You’re attempting to upload a file that doesn’t belong in WordPress—it may not be a theme file at all.

A StackOverflow thread said that it could be a plugin called WP-Super-Cashe, I cleared the cache and deactivated it.

I uploaded this on StackOverflow first because I was embarrassed to ask for help from y’all again 😭. I appreciate your help, I love this community but go easy on me if I’m just being stupid <3
