 * Hello [@urchman89](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urchman89/) ,
 * Hope you are well?
 * You can resolve this issue by increasing the maximum upload size and execution
   times for your website. Probably, the theme you are trying to use has files of
   a larger size, that’s why you are getting an error.
 * You can use two methods:
 * 1.Creating a PHP.ini File, OR
    2.Editing .htaccess File
 * Do you have any idea of how to go about this using any of the two methods? If
   not, let me know and I can guide you through the steps of whichever method you
   choose.
 * Hope this helps.

 * [@angelakaunda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelakaunda/) thank you 
   for the response.
 * I really don’t know how to go about it..so if you can I’d appreciate the steps
   to create a PHP.ini file.
 * Thank you

 * Hello there [@urchman89](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urchman89/) ,
 * Sure thing. Glad to help. I will simplify the necessary steps for you to use .
 * 1. Copy and paste this code with these exact lines on a blank notepad:
    upload_max_filesize
   =64M post_max_size=64M max_execution_time=300 2. Save this file as php.ini. File
   type should be “AllFiles”. 3. Go back to your server and to the public.html folder
   and upload the PHP.ini file that you have just created
 * This should fix the error.If the issue persists, please contact your web hosting
   provider. They may be able to help you.
 * Let me know if this helps.
 * You’re welcome.
