enter image description hereI have purchased a theme in html. Now I want to upload that in my theme collection of wordpress admin panel. Problem is when I try to do that it says style.css file missing, which is available in assets. I have domain name and I am trying to upload it via admin panel. How to do it. Any idea. My theme is working fine on local server but not installing on admin panel of wordpress in the backend panel of hosted site on godaddy. Or do I need to convert it to wordpress theme first.

You cant just install an html theme in wordpress and expect it to work. You need to convert it to wordpress ready. - Peter

Your theme files must be in PHP, not HTML

That's your first issue. There are too many more to list here though. You can't just put in an HTML theme into WordPress.
