About Oyster – Creative Photo WordPress Theme 3.9.8
Oyster is a WordPress theme made for showing photography and creative work, originally sold on ThemeForest. In the store it is filed under creative, portfolio, premium theme and business service, so the aim is an image-led site where galleries and portfolio pages come first.
The listing doesn't describe its layouts, demos or bundled plugins, so read the documentation in the package for those. The file on record is version 3.9.8 and dates from March 2019. Test it with your current WordPress and PHP versions on a staging site, and use your own photos instead of expecting demo images.

Getting started: using Oyster – Creative Photo WordPress Theme 3.9.8
- Back up and use a staging site. The file is from 2019, so test it before it touches a live site.
- Read the documentation. Find the options for galleries, portfolio items and home page layout.
- Upload a few photo sets. Add portfolio or gallery items with your own images at a sensible file size.
- Check speed on a phone. Large photos load slowly, so check page speed and compress images where needed.
Common problems and fixes
Galleries load slowly
- Why it happens
- Full-size photos uploaded straight from a camera make pages heavy.
- How to fix it
- Resize and compress images before uploading, and regenerate thumbnails if you change image sizes.
“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.
