How can I increase max file upload in WordPress?

3 comments

1. Earlier adding define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M'); just after <?php on wp-config.php always worked for me. For the latest wordpress version it isn’t working. I don’t know the actual reason behind it but it still works for my older wordpress sites which I never updated from last year.

   Follow these steps for latest WordPress:

   1) Put this at the end of your php.ini

   upload_max_filesize = 512M
   post_max_size = 512M
   max_execution_time = 300
   

   2) Restart apache(Setting won’t take effect until apache is restarted)

   Tested and working.

   I tried both .htaccess and and php.ini on wp-admin methods as well, They
   aren’t working either.

2. You can try in PHP :

   ini_set('post_max_size', 100000); // 10Mo
   ini_set('upload_max_filesize', 100000);
   

   But be careful, with some of server supplier you cannot change this limit…

3. I tried different way like attempted to

   1. change my limit directly on my server
   2. through the .htaccess file 
   3. wp-config.php 
   

   but none of these changes worked for me. Then I came across a post somewhere That I summarised in a blog post(find below)

   All you need to do is 
   1. create a php.ini 
   2. upload to admin directory
