 * For pro or commercial product support please contact the developer directly on
   their site. This includes any pre-sales topics as well.

 * As the developer is aware, commercial products are [not supported in these forums](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products).
   I am sure they will have no problem supporting you there.

 * [@lsdkrm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lsdkrm/) Does it show any error?
   Or does it load infinitely? Theme zip files may often contain documentation, 
   readme, photoshop files etc. Make sure to unzip and extract the zip of the theme
   and then try uploading it.
 * You can also try and add the theme through FTP. Here is how you can do that:

 * If memory size seems to be the issue, you can use this plugin to increase upload
   size limit: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-upload-size/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-upload-size/)
 * Let me know if it helps.

 * Hi [@soberbanda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/soberbanda/) thanks for 
   your answer
    What happens is that ones I click on Aspect and Themes, I them click
   on Add New. Once I click to ADD New the next step is Upload Theme. It’s here 
   that the clicking stops. I try clicking on Upload Theme and nothing really happens
   when I click on Upload Theme. Am I missing a step?

 * [@lsdkrm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lsdkrm/) No problem. It seems you
   would need to increase the maximum file size upload limit. Just go through this
   resource on how to do that: [https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/)
 * Alternatively, You can use this plugin if you don’t feel like touching code: 
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-upload-size/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-upload-size/).
 * It should help.

 * So I managed to upload the file but the installation was unsuccessful as it said
   there was something missing in the file. I better contact Lay Theme and check
   with them. Perhaps Im uploading the wrong file. Who knows!
    Thanks for your help!
