Increasing MAX UPLOAD limit for Word Press (I Tried it all)

Solution 1:

Seems you have edit php.ini in wrong location. Create in document root and open in browser this file, name it like info.php:

<?php
phpinfo();

Find where php.ini located(from browser output), change or add lines:

upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
file_uploads = On

Solution 2:

After spending hours, I went through almost all the posts but no luck. And finally resolved the issue with these steps. This might be weird solution but worked for me.

1. Find php.ini file in /etc folder or / folder by running below cmd:

   grep -rl "post_max_size" | xargs ls -lrth
   

   Here I have used the post_max_size keyword to search the "php.ini" file in /etc folder ,but in some systems you can find this on /var/www/html or /var/www/wordpress folders.

   We have multiple posts on the internet as if the php.ini file is not present in the WordPress folder then you can create but in my case that doesn't work.

2. Edit the php.ini file and change the value like this.

   post_max_size = 100M   
   upload_max_filesize = 100M
   

   In the above you can set any value as per your requirement.

3. Restart the httpd or Nginx or apache and PHP service, or as per setup, you can restart the web service.

   For me httpd and php-fpm service restart worked in centos 8:

   service httpd restart
   service php-fpm restart
