First, thank you for using our theme and hopefully, this blog post will help you find reasons and solutions for your wordpress theme installtion issue and import sample data you’re facing.<\/p>\n

Known problems when installing theme, plugins and sample data:<\/h3>\n

Here is list of most commom issues that reported from users:<\/p>\n

1. System Requirements:<\/h4>\n

When selecting a hosting service, please make sure it meets the following the system requirements:<\/p>\n

PHP version 5.6 or greater\nMySQL version 5.6 or greater<\/pre>\n
2. The “Broken theme and\/or stylesheets missing” error<\/h4>\n
This issue happens when you install or activate a new theme. It is because you have uploaded the theme folder to wrong folder.
\nSolution:<\/b> Please make sure the theme folder is uploaded to correct path (download the theme package from themeforest, extract it and you will see the theme file “xxx_theme.zip”): your_site_root_folder\\wordpress\\wp-content\\themes<\/code>. For example, if you want to install “Strollik” theme, you need to upload the file: “strollik_theme.zip” to folder: your_site_root_folder\\wordpress\\wp-content\\themes<\/code> then extract the .zip file and proceed with your installation as normal.<\/p>\n
3. Problems with uploading via WP admin panel<\/h4>\n
WordPress allows you to install theme via admin panel but it has size limitation (depend on settings on your server) so in case your theme file size exceed the limit, you can not get the theme file uploaded and installed.
\nSolution: <\/b>In this case, please check your file upload limit on Your Media Uploader page in WordPress. Depending upon the web hosting company and the conditions of the service they provide it may vary. Normally, the limit is 8 MB. But uploading some media files like audio and video may become a problem.
\nHere is some tips to extend your maximum file upload size in WordPress:
\n#1. using functions.php<\/code> file:<\/b>
\nOpen the functions.php file, the file is located in folder: \/wp-content\/themes\/yourthemename\/functions.php, means each theme will have a functions.php file, in this case, open the functions.php<\/code> file of the active theme then add following codes:<\/p>\n
@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '64M' );\n@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M');\n@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );<\/pre>\n
#2. using PHP.INI<\/code> file<\/b>
\nOpen the file: PHP.INI<\/code> in your WordPress site root folder and change following parameters:<\/p>\n
upload_max_filesize = 64M\npost_max_size = 64M\nmax_execution_time = 300<\/pre>\n
If you don’t see the php.ini<\/code> file, create new one and add following codes:<\/p>\n
upload_max_filesize = 64M\npost_max_size = 64M\nmax_execution_time = 300<\/pre>\n
In case that tip does not work with 64MB, try it with 10MB.
\n#3. using .htaccess<\/code> method<\/b>
\nIf your site have aleady have the .htaccess<\/code> file in the root folder, open it and modify as below, if not create such file and add following codes:<\/p>\n
php_value upload_max_filesize 64M\nphp_value post_max_size 64M\nphp_value max_execution_time 300\nphp_value max_input_time 300<\/pre>\n
You can reset all of the setting for the each page on our custom panel by clicking “Reset” button on the bottom.<\/p>\n
\n
