The template bundle that you downloaded is divided into various directories. Let's examine the contents of each folder:
- Screenshots -contains template screenshot. Not for production.

- "vw-wall-decor-pro.zip" -this folder contains all the necessary files for the theme.
- "license.txt" -contains license details

My website was operating normally before? Who altered the permissions on the file?
WordPress may be unable to create directories, upload photos, or execute some scripts if file permissions are set incorrectly.
To manage files and create directories on the server, WordPress needs permissions.
- After that select all folders in root directory and then right click to select ‘File Permissions’.
