Hi,
I am trying to add a new theme I recently purchased for Wordpress. During the upload process i get this message:
The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini
upon investigation it appears it is currently set at a max 32mb. Even though the zipped theme is only 6mb. How do I increase this.
I have tried to locate the php.ini to make a change but cannot find it.
I have paid a lot of money for this new theme and would very much like to be able to use it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
Thank you. I have managed to resolve the issue having read through various documentation linked and on other sites.
The remedy was in cPanel, there is a 'Select PHP version' button under software, and in this link there is a 'switch to php options' link, where you can increase the max size. This fixed my issue and is now working.
Thank you all who responded.
Hi,
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately there is no Zip within the main zip. I am trying to install Divi into wordpress. Divi also is a visual builder with plugins etc so this may be different to installing a normal theme. I have followed the video tutorial for installing Divi into wordpress which shows uploading the entire zip which i then encounter that error.
Thank you.
Okay - - that's the first thing to eliminate 😉 Not a fan of Divi -- but Elegant themes has an article on this that may help you out.

You could also try to manually install -- instructions here.
HTH! 😉
