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 👍

Hi there,

Yes, this kind of issue is actually quite common after a theme update — especially with themes like ThemeHorse, where CSS structure or container classes sometimes change between versions.

Here are a few things you can check before rolling back:

1️⃣ Regenerate CSS / Clear Theme Cache

Some ThemeHorse themes have built-in styling or customizer-generated CSS.

Go to Appearance → Customize and simply click Publish again (even without changes).

If you’re using any optimization plugin (like Autoptimize, WP Rocket, etc.), clear minified CSS/JS files as well.

2️⃣ Check for Changed Class Names

Sometimes updates modify section wrappers or grid classes.

Inspect the broken section using browser DevTools (F12).

Compare the container classes for the menu/featured image section.
You might notice that old CSS customizations are targeting outdated class names.

If that’s the case, a small CSS adjustment can fix alignment issues, for example:

.menu-section img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
.menu-section .column {
width: 100%;
float: none;
}
}

(Adjust class names according to your actual markup.)

3️⃣ Check Mobile Breakpoints

Text overlapping on mobile usually means:

A fixed height container

Absolute positioning

Or outdated column widths

Inspect if any element has:

position: absolute;
height: fixed px;

Removing or overriding that in a child theme can resolve overlap.

4️⃣ Regenerate Thumbnails

If featured images look misaligned, try regenerating thumbnails (using a plugin like “Regenerate Thumbnails”) in case image dimensions changed in the update.

5️⃣ Child Theme Check

If you previously added custom CSS directly in the parent theme, the update may have overwritten layout logic. Ideally:

Move all customizations into a child theme

Or use Additional CSS in Customizer

If possible, share:

The homepage URL

Whether you’re using a page builder

Any custom CSS you added

That will make troubleshooting much more precise.

Hope this helps!
