Wordpress - link you followed has expired

In this article we are going to present a solution when theme installation issue happens with following error "link you followed has expired"

This issue mostly happens due to your website host configuration , two major parameter which should be modified are "Maximum upload size" and "Maximum post size" , there are different approaches to modify those settings 


Approach 1 : Editing Wp-config

First please use any ftp client to connect to your website FTP server ( you can ask about FTP credentials from your host admins ) or use your host panel file manager to access core files , now in Wordpress installation path look for wp-config.php , make a copy just to have a backup and then edit the original file and add following codes before /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */ section

  1. ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '64M' );
  2. ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M');
  3. ini_set( 'memory_limit', '64M' );
Save the file and then check your website admin panel >> media >> add new and check for maximum upload file size as shown in following image 



Approach 2 : Editing php.ini

First please use any ftp client to connect to your website FTP server ( you can ask about FTP credentials from your host admins ) or use your host panel file manager to access core files , now in Wordpress installation path look for php.ini ( create one if there is no file named that ) , edit that file and add following code into it 
  1. upload_max_filesize = 64M
  2. post_max_size = 64M
  3. memory_limit = 64M
Save the file and then check your website admin panel >> media >> add new and check for maximum upload file size


Approach 3 : Editing .htaccess
