What to do if there’s an Upload Error
If there is an upload error, this is most likely because of WordPress’ default upload limit on file sizes. To be sure, go to Media > Add New in your WordPress dashboard and check to see what the upload file size is. The default will say “Maximum upload file size: 8 MB” on the bottom left.
To learn how to increase the file size, read the tutorial on How to Update the WordPress Maximum Upload File Size. Once the file size limit is adjusted, you’ll be able to install and use SocialMag Pro using the instructions above.
