You might not be uploading the right zip file  In my case  as a newbie to wordpress I used to do hardcoding   I installed the zipped file that contained another zip file which is the actual theme neede to be upload  So what what need to do in this case is to unzip the file and locate the  theme name zip  inside

Go to C  xamppp php  Set these values in php ini   upload max filesize   1000M post max size   0M

User · Answer

8388608 bytes is 8M  the default limit in PHP  Update your post max size in php ini to a larger value   upload max filesize sets the max file size that a user can upload while  post max size sets the maximum amount of data that can be sent via a POST in a form   So you can set upload max filesize to 1 meg  which will mean that the biggest single file a user can upload is 1 megabyte  but they could upload 5 of them at once if the post max size was set to 5

If changing the post max size settings from XAMPP folders  It did not work for you try this   From XAMPP control panel  click config then PHP  php ini  and edit post max size and upload max filesize to a higher number in this file instead  Stop Apache server  Start Apache server  This worked for me
