The Reign theme should install without any errors, although on some occasions, people to encounter errors, so here are the most common errors and the solutions:
Are you sure you want to do this?
This error typically happens for one of two reasons:

White Screen Of Death or PHP Error Notice
A “white screen of death” happens when there is a PHP error on the site, but WP_Debug isn’t enabled on the server. So the first thing to do would be to allow WP_Debug so you can read what the actual error is and thus fix the problem.
This usually happens when your WordPress installation isn’t up to date (always keep WordPress up to date) or when a 3rd party plugin is creating a conflict. I would recommend always disabling all plugins and updating WordPress before switching to a new theme.
To run WordPress, we recommend your host supports:
-
PHP version 7.4 or greater
-
MySQL version 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.0 or greater
-
HTTPS support
That’s really it. We recommend Apache or Nginx as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. That said, we can’t test every possible environment, and each of the hosts on our hosting page supports the above and more with no problems.
Note: If you are in a legacy environment where you only have older PHP or MySQL versions, WordPress also works with PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5.0+, but these versions have reached the official End Of Life and, as such, may expose your site to security vulnerabilities.
Ask for it
Here’s a letter you can send to your host; copy and paste!
I’m interested in running the open-source WordPress <https://wordpress.org/> web software, and I was wondering if my account supported the following:

-
MySQL 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB 10.0 or greater
-
The mod_rewrite Apache module
-
HTTPS support
