Hello members,

Glad to be back here again. I learnt a lot here and became very successful today thanks to WF.

Now I have a brand new website which is www.ViralMauritius.news and I need to upload a new theme to it. The website is hosted on a VPS server and it is very complicated for me to edit host files, etc. Here's what I got when I tried uploading the theme:

The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

I know it is a space problem and I want this resolved by someone who has knowledge here. I can give you Wordpress login to access the website.

Kind regards,
Yosheena

    Hey Yosheena.

    I've had this problem before. You can easily contact your hosting support and have them fix this issue.

    This is a simple problem with your hosting php.ini file you either need to edit it your self (should be in etc/php/ or etc/php5/ ect.. ) file is called php.ini do a search for upload_max_filesize = and probly set to 8MB change it to say 64MB

    Another trick you could try...

    in your public_html folder add a file called php.ini with the following:

    file_uploads = On
    post_max_size = 50M
    upload_max_filesize = 50M


    i have seen this work in the past as well, but overall it would be easier for you to message your provider and ask them.. or use ftp and upload the new theme to /wp-content/themes/

    Where is the VPS, is it running on a LAMP Server, then you need to either edit the php.ini or .htaccess the change the upload file size.

    Lets us know the kind of server and will direct you where to edit the files.

    Another way:

    If it's a Linux VPS then you can:

    1. Navigate to your theme folder
    2. Download directly (using wget) if your theme is somewhere on the internet
    3. Unzip from command line.
