Installation of x-theme not possible

I can not install the zip in wordpress because I m told, “The link you followed has expired.” I bought the theme this evening. Is it a scam, or what can I do???

Thanks for the feedback. I am still working on the localhost under mamp! because I want to develop the site with x-theme

Hi Uwe,

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.

Hope this helps.

Hi Uwe,

Since you’re using MAMP, simply unzip your x.zip file and place the x theme folder into your MAMP site. The location would be as follows.
/wp-content/themes/x

So for example, if you setup WordPress by creating a folder name test, your X theme location would be
/Application/MAMP/htdocs/test/wp-content/themes/x

Now you can simply login to your WordPress backend, head over to Appearance -> Themes section and then you should be able to activate your X theme. Once you activate your X theme, it will then automatically install Cornerstone plugin for you. In case you get an error message on that step, you need to enable PHP cURL on your MAMP. You can also change your PHP configurations by editing PHP.INI file (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11691767/where-does-mamp-keep-its-php-ini?noredirect=1&lq=1).

Hope that helps.
