Hello Everyone,  
Today, I was trying to upload 2 WordPress themes from the wordpress admin panel. 1st theme size is 5.61ms and another theme size is 8.30. But unfortunately, I am not able to upload it. Every time I try to do so, I get a 505 Bad gateway error as shown in the image below. Please help me solve this out.

Try this.

Extract the theme zip file locally and upload the extracted files via ftp (filezilla) to the theme directory
