Hi I am getting the following error. when I try to upload the X theme zip file to my local wordpress.
the-link-you-followed-has-expired
The wordpress installation is a fresh installation. I have changed the upload_max_filesize = 1000M in the php.ini file and tried deleting the cache on the browser and tried in icognito mode of chrome. Still I get this error. I should add that I had successfully installed the X theme in XAMPP Wordpress but now I am trying it in IIS.
Could you please help. I hope to continue buying the X theme for my clients.

Hi Darren,

This usually happens when the upload_max_filesize value of your PHP settings is less than the size of the file you are uploading.

If you have an access to the php.ini file of your hosting, try adding these code in the file:

    upload_max_filesize = 64M
    post_max_size = 64M
    max_execution_time = 300

You can also check http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/

Or you may also get in touch with your hosting company and have then double check the following values above.

Another option would be to upload the theme manually through FTP. Go to wp-content/themes then upload the unzip x folder there. Login to the admin area and you should see X installed in the theme’s page.
