Common Issues

I get an error message when I upload Mission News Pro
If you received the following message, this is due to uploading Mission News Pro through the Themes menu:
"The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet."
Mission News Pro should be uploaded through the Plugins menu as described in the steps above.
As a plugin, you don't have to worry about any of the issues that come with switching themes. All of the features will be added automatically without disrupting your site.
I don't have a "zipped" version of Mission News Pro
Some browsers, Safari in particular, will automatically unzip the "mission-news-pro.zip" file and leave you with an "mission-news-pro" folder.
To rezip, right-click the "mission-news-pro" folder and click the "Compress mission-news-pro" option. This will create a new mission-news-pro.zip file you can upload.
I never received a copy of Mission News Pro
