    Hi,

    Assuming that this happens when you try to upload the plugin zip, the error indicates that there is an issue with your server configuration, limiting the upload size.

    Please ask your server administrator to raise the corresponding limits, following for example https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-bsd-nginx-413-request-entity-too-large/

    Server configuration parameters involved:

    For Apache make sure that LimitRequestBody is large enough.

    For nginx the client_max_body_size must be large enough.

    The above parameters must be large enough to allow for the request to be sent plus at least the file size that is being uploaded.

    PHP parameters involved are upload_max_filesize and post_max_size which should also be set large enough to accomodate request and size of file uploaded.

    After making the appropriate adjustments and restarting the server and PHP service you should see no issue when trying to upload the plugin zip file.

    Cheers
