 * I have found a theme I wat to try – Radcliffe-2 It is on the wordpress.com site.
 * [https://wordpress.com/theme/radcliffe-2](https://wordpress.com/theme/radcliffe-2)
 * It allows for a download of the theme to use on a self hosted site.
 * I have downloaded the zip of the theme and gone to my dashboard but when I try
   to upload it, I get “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive
   in php.ini”
   ooking on my hosting control panel, I can’t find php.ini in the file
   manager so I guess I’m not allowed to change that.What can I do to install this
   theme please?

 * Hey [@andytwonames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andytwonames/) ,
 * you have 2 option to upload theme.
    1. Increase upload_max_filesize on your server.
    2. Upload theme file from Cpanel or FTP directly then activate form WP admin side.
