How do I increase the WordPress upload size limit? Print

If "file exceeds the maximum upload size" appears, raise the limit in cPanel's PHP settings.

1. In cPanel open Select PHP Version (or MultiPHP INI Editor), then Options.
2. Increase upload_max_filesize and post_max_size (e.g. to 128M); keep post_max_size equal to or larger than upload_max_filesize.
3. Raise memory_limit and max_execution_time too for large files.
4. Save and re-test the upload.

Alternatively, add these lines to a php.ini or .user.ini file in your WordPress root, or add @ini_set('upload_max_filesize','128M'); to wp-config.php. The cPanel method is cleanest. If the option is locked on your plan, open a ticket and we'll adjust it.
