how to change max file upload size WordPress 4.9.8 [closed]

Question

As the title states i have tried it with the htaccess file to change the maximum upload size and nothing i have even created a php.ini file in the root of the wordpress folder and still nothing can some here please help me.

Answer 1

php.ini should be in the /wp-admin/ folder, not the root. Also, I've had success using a combination of the following in my /wp-admin/php.ini file AND a directive to increase the memory in my wp-config.php file, increased memory is needed when uploading larger files.

Put something like this in your php.ini file (change values as you need to):

    memory=512MB
    post_max_size=20MB
    upload_max_filesize=50MB

Then in your wp-config.php file, add something like this:

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M');

The upper memory limit doesn't need to be the same in both, but I find it works best when it is the same.

Answer 2

Try to create .user.ini in root

upload_max_filesize = 500M
post_max_size = 256M
memory_limit = 500M
max_execution_time = 300
max_input_vars = 500M

Hope this will help!

Answer 3

@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '64M' );
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M');
@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );

Add this in function.php i think this will works
