I have just bought the pro and downloaded it but when I try to upload the .zip I get this message

The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

Hoy can I fix it?

Thanks

Hi there,

Please follow this link to increase the upload max file size or contact your Hosting Provider.

I just purchased and downloaded Pro, but if I install the .zip, will my previous news in the demo be deleted?

Hi there,

First of all thank you for purchasing our theme.

No your news(post) won’t be deleted when you switch to any theme, but may you have to set the widgets one more time for the premium theme which will takes some min.

Thank you!

Hi 👋

That error message:

“The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.”

means your server’s PHP configuration is limiting the maximum file upload size, and the nopCommerce Pro package .zip is larger than that limit.

This isn’t related to the theme or plugin itself — it’s a hosting configuration issue.

🔧 How to Fix It

You need to increase these PHP values:

upload_max_filesize

post_max_size

(recommended) memory_limit

(optional) max_execution_time

✅ Option 1: Edit php.ini (If You Have Access)

Locate your php.ini file and increase the limits, for example:

upload_max_filesize = 128M
post_max_size = 128M
memory_limit = 256M
max_execution_time = 300

Then restart your web server (IIS/Apache).

✅ Option 2: Edit web.config (Common in nopCommerce / IIS Hosting)

If you’re on Windows hosting with IIS, you can add this inside your web.config:

<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength=”131072″ executionTimeout=”300″ />
</system.web>

<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength=”134217728″ />
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
✅ Option 3: Contact Hosting Provider

If you’re on shared hosting and don’t have access to server settings, simply contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase:

upload_max_filesize to at least 128MB

post_max_size to at least 128MB

They usually fix this quickly.

💡 A Small Tip (Inspired by Letter Boxed Strategy)

Setting up nopCommerce can sometimes feel like solving a puzzle — a bit like the NYT game Letter Boxed unlimited.

In that game, you must connect all letters efficiently in the fewest moves. Similarly, when installing software:

Check server requirements first

Configure environment limits

Then upload and install

If one piece (like PHP limits) is missing, the whole chain breaks — just like an invalid word chain in Letter Boxed 😄

After increasing the limits, clear cache/restart the server and try uploading the .zip again.

If you’re not sure which hosting environment you’re using (IIS, Apache, shared hosting, etc.), let us know and we can guide you more specifically 👍
