About Elegant Themes eGamer WordPress Theme 6.3.13
eGamer is a WordPress theme from Elegant Themes, filed under blog, news and magazine. It was designed with video game blogs in mind, though the description says it can be adapted to other niches. It suits a site built around articles, reviews and embedded videos.
The file on record is version 6.3.13, released in August 2017. That is old, so test it with your current WordPress and PHP versions on a staging site first. The listing doesn't state a demo list or a page builder, so check the documentation in the package for the theme's options.

Common problems and fixes
Thumbnails look wrong on old posts
- Why it happens
- The theme resizes images to its own sizes, and posts created earlier don't have them.
- How to fix it
- Regenerate thumbnails with a thumbnail-regeneration plugin, or re-upload the featured images.
Warnings or errors appear on a current PHP version
- Why it happens
- The theme was released in 2017 and may use code that newer PHP versions flag.
- How to fix it
- Test on staging, turn on debug logging to see the messages, and move to a supported theme if the errors persist.
“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.
