Wordpress unable to upload and install theme

Hi, I used one click install for Wordpress (ubuntu 14.04) I uploaded the theme and it keeps showing “are you sure you want to do this”.

I have another wordpress account and I’ve managed to upload the exact same theme successfully. Already configured my php.ini (for maximum file size) to 32M and gave all the root read write permissions - I’m totally at a lost now. Please help!

This question was answered by @awesomekel:

I solved it. We have to change post_max_size in php.ini. I did everything I could, didn’t work, even killed my droplet and started again… but when I changed it, it worked!

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 40M

**; Must be greater than or equal to upload_max_filesize
post_max_size = 40M**
