Uploading Large Themes in Wordpress

Written by: on 05 December 2013 12:37 PM 05 December 2013 12:37 PM

Sometimes you need to upload a large theme or file to wordpress site. Follow easy guidelines to do it yourself.

If you run Wordpress and get a timeout error uploading large themes, you can always upload them manually via FTP.

In this training video the presenter uses two additional pieces of software (if you have other FTP clients or ZIP clients you can use them instead):

Filezilla: the free FTP solution, that allows you to transfer files from your computer to your web hosting account.

7-zip: is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. You can use it to combine multiple files under 1 file archive, with compression.

Follow the steps in the video below, and you should be able to unzip, upload, and activate your wordpress theme, and install it manually.
