Well, the error description explains it quite well. You need to change the upload_max_filesize in your php.ini . This depends on the hosting you are on.

localhost/ MAMP – find the variable in MAMP directory/conf/{phpversion}/php.ini, then give it a value to something like 20M, then restart the apache server

Other hostings – search google for {hostingname} how to edit php.ini or {hostingname} how to edit upload_max_filesize

the simple solution is to upload via FTP[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Can I select from which categories show posts on page BLOG ?” tab_id=”1473105112786-5ffedf2e-3db8″][vc_column_text]Go to Appearance > Menus and in the far bottom you will see Categories Menu, add whatever category you want to the main menu, then Save.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How do I import demo / preview content from themes ?” tab_id=”1473105200855-7dc5e482-942e”][vc_column_text]Go to Tools > Import, choose WordPress – install the WordPress Importer that is prompted in the next screen.

Do use Firefox + Firebug, simply the best tool for web editing, css etc.
Do not use CAPITAL extensions in your files for example – GOOD: test.jpg, BAD: test.JPG – it may work locally but online it won’t
Do not use SPACES in your file names – BAD: my pretty name .jpg, GOOD: myprettyname.jpg

How can I know which one ?” tab_id=”1473106096726-a1d97c48-5443″][vc_column_text]For first, you can try to use a different theme (the WP default one for example). If our plugin works, then the problem is with that theme.

If not, you can try to deactivate your plugins one by one until you find the one that is causing the issue.

When you found out what breaks the plugin ( usually a jQuery override ) , you can either not use the broken theme / plugin anymore, fix yourself, or ask the author of that to fix.

The difference is in the intended use. This is why the two files have different extensions (.pot versus .po).

The tool that scans your PHP source will produce a .pot file. This file includes only the original texts, which need translation. You send this file to your translators.

The translator’s tool will be able to merge the texts from the .pot file with the existing translations (the .po file). It will mark new or modified texts as needing translation and will leave existing translation intact.
