> NOTE: If you are facing trouble while installing a theme from your WordPress dashboard, it is most likely due to a resource limit at your web hosting. In this case, there are 2 options for you.

1. Install theme from cPanel / File Manager
2. Ask your web hosting provider to change the following settings for your account:
   * max\_upload\_limit = 32M
   * max\_execution\_time = 300
   * max\_post\_size = 32M
