'Bad or missing configuration file.' when installing a PrestaShop theme


Steve

Question

So I'm trying to install this: https://www.templatemonster.com/free-templates/responsive-wheels-tires-prestashop-theme-52940.html theme while playing around with thirty bees.

But when I try to upload it from pc or ftp the website the lage loads for minutes and then I get this error: 'Bad or missing configuration file '.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Thanks for sending the ZIP.

Maybe this is a PS 1.6 theme, but if it is, it's well hidden in the ZIP. Watching out for file layout.tpl, I found one in /theme/manual_install/theme1133/themes/theme1133/ and another one inside /theme/themeinstallator/theme1133.zip, path /themes/theme1133/.

It looks much like the developer simply packaged his whole development directory instead of building a theme package. Also Photoshop files and screenshots inside. That's not installable this way.

If you think it's worth the work, try to extract files to get a directory structure similar to the default theme.

Well I just tried 4 other themes:

2 of them gave the same error: 'Bad or missing configuration file'. https://www.templatemonster.com/free-templates/fashion-store-prestashop-theme-51683.html https://www.templatemonster.com/free-templates/responsive-car-audio-prestashop-theme-51230.html

The other 2 just didn't upload. Once I clicked 'Add file' I got a 'this site can’t be reached' error. Those 2 are quite big though (>500MB), maybe that's what gave the error? https://www.templatemonster.com/free-templates/responsive-fashion-store-prestashop-theme-54008.html https://www.templatemonster.com/free-templates/responsive-book-store-prestashop-theme-54824.html

Maybe the problem is on my end? Or does it maybe have to do that these are free themes?

500 MB is far beyond plausible. thirty bees' default theme is like 1.8 MB, ones with bigger pictures might go to like 10 MB, but that's it.

I have no idea what Templatemonster is doing or how this is expected to work. You can look at the set of files coming with the thirty bees default theme, find an area with like-named files like that. Then create a new ZIP with just this.

If this situation can get fixed, only Templatemonster can do this. What they offer is obviously installable neither on thirty bees nor on PrestaShop. Not even close.

To me this looks like the ZIPs you are trying to install are not the themes themselves, but a package with the theme, its docs, graphic assets, etc... Most probably the theme is somewhere inside the ZIP, probably as another ZIP file. Like matryoshka dolls if you want.

I'm also pretty sure the Template Monster guys have documented this somewhere, for example in a readme file inside the main ZIP file or somewhere in their website, probably after you purchase the theme. In any case you should ask them for support, that's why you pay.

Please always inform the current TB version and possibly server configuration.
Are you using the right zip file?
For Warehouse, I do not know it now, but for example in Panda and Transformer, the subfile for the template in the main zip file is theme.zip or something, so in some cases first extract the main file and then install theme.zip ,
