How To Install Reign Theme Without Installation Errors

Theme Installation Errors

The Reign theme should install without any errors, although on some occasions people to encounter errors so here are the most common errors and the solutions:
Are you sure you want to do this?

This error typically happens for one of two reasons:
  • Your server memory limit to PHP is too low (most common).
  • Your upload limit isn’t large enough and you must update your php.ini file to increase the upload_max_filesize value or contact your web host to fix it.

White Screen Of Death or PHP Error Notice

A "white screen of death" happens when there is a PHP error on the site but WP_Debug isn’t enabled on the server. So the first thing to do would be to enable WP_Debug so you can read what the actual error is and thus fix the problem.

This usually happens when your WordPress installation isn’t up to date (always keep WordPress up to date) or when a 3rd party plugin is creating a conflict. I would recommend always disabling all plugins and updating WordPress before switching to a new theme.

To run WordPress we recommend your host supports:

  • PHP version 7.2 or greater
  • MySQL version 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.0 or greater
  • HTTPS support

That’s really it. We recommend Apache or Nginx as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. That said, we can’t test every possible environment and each of the hosts on our hosting page supports the above and more with no problems.

Note: If you are in a legacy environment where you only have older PHP or MySQL versions, WordPress also works with PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5.0+, but these versions have reached official End Of Life and as such may expose your site to security vulnerabilities.

Ask for it
Here’s a letter you can send to your host; copy and paste!


I'm interested in running the open-source WordPress <https://wordpress.org/> web software and I was wondering if my account supported the following:
  • PHP 7.2 or greater
  • MySQL 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB 10.0 or greater
  • The mod_rewrite Apache module
  • HTTPS support
Thanks!
