1.1 WordPress Information

To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. You should ALWAYS be running the latest version of WordPress, otherwise you put your whole site at risk for potential threats in case using an outdated version of WordPress.

If you need help installing WordPress, follow the instructions in WordPress Codex. Below are all the useful links for WordPress information.

1.2 PHP Configuration Limits

Many issues that you may run into such as; white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page content and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The solution is to increase the PHP limits. You can do this on your own, or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

  • max_execution_time: 300
  • memory_limit: 256M
  • post_max_size: 32M
  • upload_max_filesize: 32M

Below is a full list of everything that is included when you download the main files, along with a brief description of each item.

  1. cariera.zip: main theme file that needs to be uploaded to install Cariera Theme.
  2. cariera-child.zip: basic child theme of Cariera Theme. It is created for people who want to customize the code of the Theme.

2. Theme Installation & Demo Import

After you download the package from ThemeForest, please unzip it. You’ll see a file called cariera.zip, which needs to be uploaded and installed.

Important: One of the most common reasons people have issues is because they try uploading the full zip that includes demo content, theme, documentation…etc which displays the “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.” error. Please make sure you upload only the theme which is called cariera.zip.

3. Automatic Updates via Envato Market Plugin

Important: After updating the theme, all your content such as pages, options, images and posts will not be lost or erased. However, any customizations to the theme’s core files, such as PHP files, language files will be lost. So all customizations should always be added in the child theme.

The Envato Market plugin can install WordPress themes and plugins purchased from ThemeForest & CodeCanyon by connecting with the Envato Market API using a secure OAuth personal token. Once your themes & plugins are installed WordPress will periodically check for updates, so keeping your items up to date is very simple.

Step 1 – Make sure you have installed and activated all required plugins. (Envato Market Plugin is packed in the Theme)

Step 2 – If you translated the theme and the language files are in themes/cariera/lang/, you need to upload them to wp-content/languages/themes/. If not, After updating the theme, any customizations to the theme’s core files, such as PHP files, language files will be lost.

Cariera should be installed without any errors, but here are the most common errors and the solutions:


The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

One of the most common reasons people have issues is because they try uploading the full zip that includes demo content, theme, documentation...etc which displays the “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.” error. Please make sure you are uploading only the installable theme which is called cariera.zip.


Are you sure you want to do this?

It means you have an upload file size limit. You need to install the theme or plugins via FTP, or contact your hosting provider to increase the limit.


White Screen Of Death or PHP Error Notice

A “white screen of death” happens when there is a PHP error on the site but WP_Debug isn’t enabled on the server. So the first thing to do would be to enable WP_Debug so you can read what the actual error is and thus fix the problem.
