X Installation: The Link You Followed Has Expired

[WTCD]

Hi all,

I have been using X for a few years. Now, I bought a new license for the website of the company I work for. However, when I try to upload the theme, it fails and says “The link you followed has expired. Please try again.”.

I have tried uploading the Zip file with just the theme on its own and that doesn’t work either. Thank you.

Hey Adam,

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 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.
