About Elegant Themes TheSource WordPress Theme 4.8.13
TheSource is an Elegant Themes WordPress theme in a magazine style. The old description says it was made to display a lot of content in an organised and visually pleasing way. The store files it under premium themes and blog, news and magazine.
The file on record is version 4.8.13, released in August 2017, which may differ from the title. Check the version in the package. The listing gives no layout or options list, so read the documentation in the package, and test the theme on a staging site with your current WordPress and PHP before using it live.

Getting started: using Elegant Themes TheSource WordPress Theme 4.8.13
- Install and activate the theme. Upload it in Appearance, Themes on a staging copy first.

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.
