 * Hello,
 * Your server configuration may have a limit on the upload size.
 * Try unzipping your downloaded theme and upload it using FTP into your /themes/
   folder on your server.
 * Alternatively you can contact your hosting provider and ask them if they see 
   any errors in the error log file when you upload your theme.

 * Thanks Samuel for the clarification. Better be safe than sorry. 🙂
 * [@jx2tan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jx2tan/) – If you are still having
   difficulty with FTP. You can contact your hosting provider and ask them to guide
   you.
 * Here is also a good video tutorial on how to upload your WordPress theme using
   FTP: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UP-m3mD5wE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UP-m3mD5wE)

   assistance from them.
