Hi PG crew 🙂 having a problem exporting WordPress theme whilst following a tute by Bob here (agency bootstrap HTML template conversion to WP): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMAmWxvewmE&list=PLNHKFtMjaNvFWJN5dNV72ug7mpvH8zKd1&index=5](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMAmWxvewmE&list=PLNHKFtMjaNvFWJN5dNV72ug7mpvH8zKd1&index=5).

Have attached a gif of the message. I have also done a short YT vid (3mins) here showing in more detail (not sure if I’m allowed to link to a YT vid or not?): [https://youtu.be/RUV6UMRq-6Y](https://youtu.be/RUV6UMRq-6Y)

I’m new to the WP stuff and I’m sure it’s probably my settings. Have done quite a few tutes and read the docs up and down but seem to belting my head against the wall on this one - am sure it’s something simple 🙃 - anyway if anyone could point me in the right direction or give me a clue that would be much appreciated. Thanks and have a good weekend! Cheers, Mark.

I see 1 main issue here:

It seems you are saving your project in the theme export folder which is wrong. You must have a project folder (for the HTML/CSS created with Pinegrow), and the WordPress theme folder where you export the WordPress theme. (see a quick demo here [Start your first WordPress theme development in less than 12 minutes | Pinegrow Web Editor](https://pinegrow.com/tutorials/start-your-first-wordpress-theme-development-in-less-than-12-minutes/))
