  I am unable to upload my custom theme that I purchased from https://themeforest.net/. I keep getting an error message when I try to upload the WordPress .zip file.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The error message says, “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.” Not sure why this is when the website is barely being created right now and there’s nothing on it yet.

  Hi,

  It looks like your website is hosted with GoDaddy. 
We can only assist with WordPress.com hosted sites on this forum.

  You can ask for support in the WordPress.org forums:

  The difference between .ORG and .COM is explained here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Additionally, there are step by step instructions on how to upload a custom theme here: shttps://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes

  Hope this helps :)
