 * Hi,
 * Whenever I try to install a theme manually like this: [https://prnt.sc/i2324b&#8230](https://prnt.sc/i2324b&#8230);
   I get this error message that pops up instantly after pressing the ‘Install Now’-
   button: [https://prnt.sc/i232jx](https://prnt.sc/i232jx).
 * After the initial installation of WordPress, the values in the Settings > General
   looked like this: [http://prntscr.com/i23btl](http://prntscr.com/i23btl).
 * I changed these values to this now: [http://prntscr.com/i23b4t](http://prntscr.com/i23b4t)(
   by adding the “www.” value to each text field).
 * Could this be the issue somewhere in the DB maybe?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-install-theme-manually%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@rajanit2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rajanit2000/)
 * The theme I am trying to upload is pretty big (260MB+). Where would I find the
   php.ini file so that I can modify the max value?
 * Thanks!
