Issues with uploading my theme to localhost using WAMP Server on Windows 7 Home version.

I've changed the limit to 635mb in the php.ini. However, there seems to be TWO php.ini files. These are currently situated:
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.25 AND C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.0.10.

So, I changed the limit on both php.ini files (as I had no idea which one was the correct one to copy across) to the size of the zipped theme folder being 635 MB (666,161,152 bytes), and copied them both (at separate stages and overwrote) into the folder C:\wamp64\www\lps\wp-admin where apparently they are to reside.

I'm trying to upload the theme http://localhost/lps/wp-admin/update.php?action=upload-theme... but to no avail. The theme is Uplift_v1.3.62.

I would be extremely grateful for some advice. BTW, I restarted WAMP Server each time I changed the files.

You should upload the theme manually to the server - copy the theme folder to your system folder corresponding to this URL:

http://localhost/lps/wp-content/themes/

After you're done copying the files, you will get the option to preview or activate the theme in the admin:

http://localhost/lps/wp-admin/themes.php

Also, make sure you copy only the theme source folder, and not the whole documentation, with PSDs and so on. If you're not confident that is the right folder, check to see if it contains style.css - that's a file that should be directly in the theme folder, not any subfolders.
