ERROR MESSAGE from Wordpress when installing Photocrati theme: uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

[Mon]

Hi all, after much research I have decided to purchase this theme and have just installed wordpress to my imac for the first time as well. When I went to install the zip file (theme) the error message I received from wordpress was:

uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini. I read on another forum that they (WP) only accept files that are 2MB in size - sureley this is not correct? Has anyone experienced a similar issue and/or can let me know the best way to deal with this? I have already advised my host of the problem but not sure if they can help. Also contacted Photocrati but they are not quick to respond in my short experience with them so far! Thanks everyone in advance for your help!

Not sure if you've gotten this working yet - but one to try is to upload the theme files via FTP instead of inside WordPress itself.

So if you have FTP access to your site, login to it, unzip the Photocrati zip file and upload all the files to your wp-content > themes folder in a folder named photocrati

Best of luck!
