 * Hi! I am using a theme, [http://themeforest.net/item/good-start-wordpress-design/full_screen_preview/77989](http://themeforest.net/item/good-start-wordpress-design/full_screen_preview/77989),
   but the WP keeps coming back with **Installation Failed. Please Try Again?**
   
   I have successfully uploaded various Themes but I notice that this one is pretty
   big sizewise compared to the others. Is there a size limit on theme uploads? 
   Also, I am using GoDaddy Hosting. Can someone help me out here? Thanks!

 * How long you wait while upload?
 * If it’s take too long, try to increase download timeout.
 * at /wp-admin/includes/file.php find
 * `$response = wp_remote_get($url, array(’timeout’ => 30));` and change 30 to any
   number you want.

 * ah…! Good point. Didn’t know I could modify that. Because it does time-out around
   30/45 seconds. Hmmm. Let me try that and I will update.

 * Edit wordpress file on your server, not database 🙂
 * Don’t forget to backup it first.

 * Can you view other files? Are you in your file manager? Did you check the box
   and click on “view file”?
