Max File Size

Support
#1

I am trying to import a backup of my website. I am getting the message that uploadse limited to 8mb.
I checked the config files i.e. wp-config and ht-access but don’t see anyting about max-upload. I do not have a php.ini file.
I created a php.ini file and added upload_max_filesize =128m, restarted the browser but it did not work .
I added @ini_set( ‘upload_max_filesize’ , ‘128M’ ); to the wp-config file but it did not work.
I would appreciate it if someone has an idea of what is wrong here.
Thank you
Bill

Hello Bill,

Thanks for writing in!

Kindly check out this article first: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/

Please do check if any of the methods mentioned in the article helps you or not. If none of them is helping, your hosting provider may have disallowed the file max upload override in your cpanel. You may need to check your Cpanel settings or just simply contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase your file-max upload settings.

Best Regards.

Thank you
I looked at this article before submitting this to the Forum.
Actually, I am trying to upload this from xampp\htdocs\transact.billswebsite.online on my Windows 10 machine so my host provider is not involved.

I guess I will keep working on this. I have another website that I have increased the max upload file size. I have made entries in the wp-config, php.ini and functions.php files, but this one is not working
Thanks
Bill
