 * I am trying to install a theme that I purchased and I am reciving this error 
   message.
 * “Internal Server Error
 * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
   complete your request.
 * Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error
   occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
 * More information about this error may be available in the server error log.”
 * I have never had any issues installing any themes purchased through themeforest..
   I don’t know what I am doing wrong.
 * When I try uploading it to a different wordpress server to see if its working
   I get this message… “Are you sure you want to do this?
 * Please try again.”
 * I click Please try again and it just takes me back to upload the theme.
 * PLEASE HELP

 * However; Compare the size of the archived (.zip) theme folder you’re trying to
   upload, to your maximum allowed file upload size in WordPress. If it’s larger
   than the maximum allowed upload limit, the easiest solution might be to just 
   extract the theme locally, then upload it to /wp-content/themes/ using your ftp
   client.
