About Bou – Personal News Review / Magazine Theme 2.5
Bou is a WordPress theme for personal news, review and magazine sites. It was originally sold on ThemeForest and is filed in the store under blog, news and magazine and multipurpose categories. It suits a writer or small team that publishes articles and reviews.
The listing gives no feature list, so it doesn't state which layouts, demos or review options are included. The file on record is version 2.5 from February 2020. Read the documentation in the package, and test with your current WordPress and PHP on a staging site before launch.

How to install Bou – Personal News Review / Magazine Theme 2.5

Download the file

Find the installable theme zip
Theme packages often bundle the theme, a child theme, plugins and docs. The installable theme is the zip that has style.css at its top level.

Getting started: using Bou – Personal News Review / Magazine Theme 2.5
- Install on a staging copy. Try the theme with your current WordPress and PHP before going live.

Common problems and fixes
“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”
- Why it happens
- The full download package was uploaded instead of the theme zip inside it.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the package and upload the zip that contains style.css at its top level.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/themes with your host's file manager or SFTP.
Demo import stops part-way or times out
- Why it happens
- The server hits its execution-time or memory limit during the import.
- How to fix it
- Raise max_execution_time and memory_limit with your host, then re-run the importer; importing content, widgets and settings separately also helps.
Pages look broken right after activating
- Why it happens
- The theme's required plugins (page builder, theme core plugin) aren't installed yet.
- How to fix it
- Install and activate everything in the theme's required-plugins notice, then reload.
