Tagged: theme installation, theme upload
Hello I just activated a brand new hosting plan and I just purchased the theme from envato market. Everything is new.
However I cannot seem to upload the theme. I wait until it’s 99%complete and it says “The link you followed has expired. Please try again.” https://i.imgur.com/TvF16lU.png
I don’t know what the issue. I hope its not something I have to upload manually in FTP because I don’t know how to do that.
Thank you
Hey Stevie,
This is a common issue with some shared hoster, i.e. with GoDaddy ( https://www.godaddy.com/community/Managing-WordPress/Wordpress-theme-upload-error-quot-The-link-you-followed-has/td-p/101292 ). The solution is to increase some limits (PHP settings) to following values:
max_execution_time 180
memory_limit 512M (or your highest available)
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 64M
If you don’t know how to increase the limits please talk to the host/server administrator and they’ll help you.
Best regards,
Peter
