What is this about?

When trying to upload the Elementor Pro plugin zip file into WordPress, you might encounter this error message: “The package couldn’t be installed. The theme is missing css style sheet“. This error message indicates that you’ve uploaded the plugin as a theme, instead of as a plugin.

Fix the error

Fix this issue by installing Elementor Pro as a WordPress plugin. For more details, see Install WordPress plugins.

Installing Elementor Pro

Connect & Activate your license key

Note: Please note also that you first have to install Elementor’s free plugin for the Pro plugin to work.
