To fix it you need to edit the php.ini file which will be in the wp-admin folder
if you are using live website. You just need to search there. If you are using localhost then find php.ini in your installation directory.

Such as if you are using xampp then it will be inside C:/xampp/php. Then just search the word that is bold here and replace with the value after the (=) sign
memory_limit = 256M
post_max_size = 32M
max_execution_time = 600
max_input_time = 900
Hope it will help you
