    I’m having trouble installing x theme into WordPress. This is my first time with WordPress or any web creation “(so I’m under the impression it’s a user error)” but I need her. I read the entire Help with WordPress Install and still not luck. I think I may be uploading the wrong file. Please advise.

    Thank you

    Thank you for pointing me to the video, that is one of the videos I watched last night. The file I downloaded is the “Installable WordPress file only”. It’s a zip file.

    I’m not sure if this is the file I should be installing or a file within the zip file. And if I should be installing a file within the zip file can you identify the file for me.

    When I try to do the install I get the following message in WordPress below:

    “Are you sure you want to do this?

    Please Try again”

    Also, I working in WordPress:-

    Localhost on my Windows 8 PC using WAMP

    I hope this helps, thank you

    I finally got the theme installed. Like I said I’m a newbie; I installed WordPress in my host and it worked perfect on the first try.

    Thank you

    Hi Support Team,

    I’m also a newbie. Trying to install X theme into WordPress. I’ve got the right file and everything, however I’m getting the message that “This file is too big. Files must be less than 1500 KB in size.”.

    Any help getting this installed would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks

    Hi There,

    You probably need assistance from your hosting company about increasing the file upload limit of your server.

    You can also follow this article to try to increase your upload limit.

    If none works, then your last resort is to install the theme via FTP,

    You can find hundreds of guide on how to install a theme in wordpress via FTP by simply searching on google or youtube. 😉

    Cheers

    I get an error trying to install the Theme on my localhost; New WAMP 2.5 installation, New WordPress 4.0 install

    I’ve viewed the video http://theme.co/x/member/kb/theme-installation/
    The Dashboard install of X.zip folder in the package fails,
    as does the Installable WordPress File-only version themeforest-5871901-x-the-theme-wordpress_theme.zip

    FTP install of the X.zip folder into the Theme folder doesn’t work either (I followed http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes#Adding_New_Themes)
    yet
    Dashboard install of previous Themes e.g. Sight, Maestro etc. works (as they did on an earlier WAMP and WordPress install on another computer)
    FTP install works for those unzipped Theme folders.

    I’ve downloaded the package.zip, and the x-the-theme-wordpress_theme.zip mat least 3 times and no success.

    I get a “do you really want to do this?” error on the Dashboard install, and
    ????

    Hey EFG,

    Can you give us a screencast of how you installed X? It would be impossible for us to troubleshoot local installations.

    Thanks.

    I would unzip your files and only copy your x folder into your wp-content/themes folder. Please review our KB articles on installing the theme for further assistance – http://theme.co/x/member/kb/theme-installation/ make sure to download the latest version of X through your themeforest account.

    Hi,

    Thanks for writing in.

    Can you try increasing memory by adding the code below in wp-config.php

    
    define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
    define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );
