About Rive – Responsive Charity WordPress Theme 2.5
Rive is a WordPress theme for charities and non-profits. Its description says it includes a donation system that you set up by entering a PayPal address or Authorize.net details. The file on record is version 2.5, released in September 2017, and the store lists it as a responsive premium theme.
Beyond that, the listing doesn't describe the page layouts, demos or donation options such as recurring gifts. Check the documentation in the package. Gateway APIs change over time, so the file is from 2017: test a donation in sandbox mode on a staging site before you accept real money.
Requirements
- WordPress
- A PayPal or Authorize.net account to take donations
Key features
- Charity theme

Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Small charities that want donations on their own site
- Non-profits already using PayPal or Authorize.net
Look elsewhere if
- Organizations that need other payment gateways, which the listing doesn't mention
- Sites that need current payment APIs without testing

Getting started: using Rive – Responsive Charity WordPress Theme 2.5
- Test on a staging site. The file is from 2017, so install it on a copy first.
- Enter payment details. Add your PayPal address or Authorize.net details in the theme's options.

- Build your campaign pages. Add the cause, photos and donate buttons, then check them on a phone.
Common problems and fixes
Donations fail or the gateway returns an error
- Why it happens
- PayPal and Authorize.net have changed their APIs and security requirements since 2017.
- How to fix it
- Test in sandbox mode, check the credentials, and move to a current donation plugin if the theme's gateway code no longer works.
“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.
