 * Hi Everyone,
    Please forgive my “newness.” I’ve uploaded a new theme via the 
   dashboard, (100% Upload) then the status bar says “waiting for [http://www.XXXXXXXXX.com](http://www.XXXXXXXXX.com)
   then I get this msg:
 * Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home5/silverci/
   public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1425
 * Ive tried this a few times and same msg, Can anyone shed some light on A) What
   Im doing wrong? and
    B) how do i fix this?
 * Cheers

 * I’m having this error too.
 * I found one post elsewhere that linked this to a server issue…and the host was
   able to fix it. Not sure if it is the same in all cases, but worth having a look.

 * I’m going to dig a little more for a solution (because I’m going overseas in 
   2 days & I can’t count on getting help from my host that quickly!)…but if I can’t
   find anything else that works, I will definitely get in touch with my host.
 * Let me know if you find anything else that works.

 * I tried a few things that didn’t work.
 * So I ended up calling my host company and they fixed it pretty quick by increasing
   memory limits, etc.
 * So I would suggest you try the same.
