Hi,

This is a bit embarrassing but I cannot install the theme on my localhost. Watched your installation video, downloaded both files, tried to install both suggested ways and I get a new window that says:

Are you sure you want to do this?

Please try again.

And when I click on the Please try again text, I go back to the “upload file” window.

I am using WampServer, should I use something else for localhost?

Thanks,
Estela

I am have having the similar problem too, I can’t even install X Theme,
1. I login to my wordpress admin
2. Next I go to ‘Appearance’
3. I choose Themes
4. then I choose add theme
5. next I upload the X Theme Zip I download.
6. I press install

but after that it seems like the page freezes.

I am not sure what I done wrong, please help

Hi there,

You will have to extract the zip package you downloaded from ThemeForest. Then under /x_package/ folder, there is another x.zip package that you can use to upload it using Appearance > Themes section within your WordPress backend.

You can also upload the theme manually by uploading X folder into your Themes directory in your WordPress installation “/wp-content/themes/“. Basically you will have to extract the file x.zip to get the X folder.

The associated plugins that comes with the theme also located inside X folder, you can find them inside plugins (x/framework/plugins) directory.

Hope that’s clear

Thanks, I couldn’t upload it using the Appearance > Themes section but it worked when I uploaded the folder manually.

Glad to hear that!

Let us know if you need anything else.

Thanks. Have a great day! 🙂

Your procedure is not working for me. I still get the “Are you sure you want to do this?” message. Or the following text appears on a blank page:

Quote

The webpage at http://localhost/TwinBranch/wp-admin/update.php?action=upload-theme might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

End Quote.

I’ve been working on this for two days now, so the “temporarily down” part of this message seems not to be the case. I hope you can help.

You can unzip the x.zip file and move the X folder into your Themes directory “/wp-content/themes/”.

Then you can activate the theme through your WordPress back-end (Appearance -> Themes).

Hope that helps.

wow so much for this

I have the same problem. I used x theme once before took 2 minutes to install.

I purchased another license to build a site for a client and I have just wasted 2hrs of my time trying to simply install this.

/Apperance
/Themes
/Add New Theme and dragging the x.zip to the browse and clicking on install and just seems to be thinking and then says Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again

Its not working

Hi @rodsinday,

If you are installing your theme from the WordPress theme installer, but get a message that says “Are you sure you want to do this?”, most likely your web server is configured with PHP settings that are too low to allow the theme ZIP file to upload. Specifically, PHP is configured to a maximum file upload size limit at 8 megabytes or less. The theme ZIP is about 11.66 megabytes in size. Thus, the web server is rejecting the upload. WordPress is giving you a rather ambiguous message in response. This is not a theme fault or bug.

+ There two ways to solve this problem:

• You can either get your web host to increase your PHP limits.
• You can upload your theme via an FTP client.

+ Recommended PHP configuration limits are as follows:

• max_execution_time 60
• memory_limit 128M
• post_max_size 32M
• upload_max_filesize 32M

Hope it helps 🙂
