NOTE: Remember to create a full site backup before making any changes or updates to your site.
The error “The link you followed has expired” in WordPress typically occurs when trying to upload a theme or plugin. This issue is usually related to PHP settings in your server configuration, specifically the following:
- upload_max_filesize
- post_max_size
- max_execution_time
- max_input_time
To fix this, you need to update/increase their values to the following:
- upload_max_filesize = 1536M
- post_max_size = 1536M
- max_execution_time = 600
- max_input_time = 300
To update these values, contact your hosting provider’s support team. They can adjust the necessary PHP settings for you.
