    When I encountered this problem, after doing some research on the net, I determined the problem was most likely caused by the WordPress Maximum File Upload Size, which was set to 8mb by default. The Newspaper theme I wanted to upload was 11 mb.

    To increase the default WordPress Maximum file upload size, I added the following lines to .htaccess

    php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
    php_value post_max_size 64M
    php_value max_execution_time 300
    php_value max_input_time 300

    This resolved the problem. This method was among several possible solutions I found at the following link:
