1: Theme Functions File
There are cases where we have seen that just by adding the following code in theme’s functions.php file, you can increase the upload size:
| 123 | @ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '64M' );@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M');@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' ); |
2. Create or Edit an existing PHP.INI file
For this method you will need to access your WordPress site’s root folder by using FTP or File Manager app in your hosting account’s cPanel dashboard.
In most cases if you are on a shared host, then you will not see a php.ini file in your directory. If you do not see one, then create a file called php.ini and upload it in the root folder. In that file add the following code:
| 123 | upload_max_filesize = 64Mpost_max_size = 64Mmax_execution_time = 300 |
This method is reported to work for many users. Remember if 64 doesn’t work, then try 10MB (sometimes that work).
