PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 8978294 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0

I am getting this error when trying to upload an import on WordPress on my XAMPP local dev environment:

Warning: POST Content-Length of 8978294 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0

I changed the `upload_max_filesize` from `2M` to `1000M`, but that didn't seem to do anything.

Any ideas?

That's an 8MB `post_max_size` error.

Set it to a value you're comfortable with.

You also need the change [post-max-size][1].

Already restarted your Webserver?

This will force php to reload the `php.ini`

You might not be uploading the right zip file. In my case, as a newbie to wordpress(I used to do hardcoding), I installed the zipped file that contained another zip file which is the actual theme neede to be upload. So what what need to do in this case is to unzip the file and locate the "theme_name.zip" inside.

Just set these in php.ini:

upload_max_filesize = 1000M;
post_max_size = 1000M;
