   I figured out a work-around that does not involve messing with php.ini, .htaccess, functions.php, or any other systtem files. All I did was the following:

   * FTP the file up to /wp-content/uploads/year/month/filename.mp4
   * New Post –> Add Media –> Insert from URL
   * Cut and paste the appropriate URL based on where you uploaded the file.
   * Hit Insert Into Post. Done.

    Please try below steps as well after creating the php.ini

    (1) Go to My Sites -> Network Admin -> Settings from WordPress admin dashboard.

    (2) Uncheck the checkbox for “Site upload space: Limit total size of files uploaded to 10 MB” and Save changes.

    (3) Done.

    If you are hitting a wall. Go to your host. Advance setting for PHP. Scan the code looking for max upload & file size. Change it to your required setting.

    Done.

    See NICOLAS’ reply above.

      Hi DVR I had tried everything and nothing worked, with what had been posted here. I tried multi times in every why to get it to work. Nothing, but your post put me on the correct answer. Thanks very much for that.
      Ok this is what i did, Signed into my host server, where my website is. the host server runs on cPanel and the theme is paper_lantern. It should not matter what your sever is or the theme. If you do not have access to this area you will have to get your host to make the changes y cotacting your technical help.
      In the panel you will have categories like = files, database, domains, email etc and what you are looking for is software, under software / apps look for multiPHP INI Editor or something like that. Its going to be different on other platforms but should be in that area. What you are looking for is configure PHP INI basic settings or editor mode. I got offered home directory or my domain name. I picked the domain name but maybe need to change both but I did not need to. Scrolled down to upload_max_filesize and changed to 64M but this did not work as you have to also change the momory_limit to 64M also. They have to be the same figure. and then it will work.
      Has I understand, when you make the changes in wordpress code. the instruction talk to your data base through the PHP files and instruct the server software to change the database settings. For some reason It would not work for me. So this route, bypass that and making the changes on the server software and not on the wordpress software. In future I will go this way as it was really quick. I hope this helps as a last resort. Martin p.s. this was Wordpress 4.8.1 and I found that it did not have, after loading it any PHP.INI or .htaccess files. I did install them but made no difference and or where I put them.

16. Gopi krishnan

    For me, this is not working, but i did this in htaccess file in this way,

    php_value post_max_size 10M
    php_value upload_max_filesize 40M
    php_value memory_limit 500M

    This works !

    Responder

    • Paul

      Hi,
      To avoid the plugin upload limit you can just upload the plugin with filezilla to your plugin directory. After uploading you can extract the zip file in the file manager and after you have done this the plugin is visible and ready to activate in your admin –> plugin panel

      Hope this helped.

      Cheers

      Responder

      • Pooya

        WOW! THANK YOU PAUL!!

        This worked perfectly for me!

        and it is MUCH easier and more reliable than any of those methods.

        just go to File Directory under the cPanel -> Public-html -> [ you site folder] -> wp-content ->themes or plugins

        Then upload the zip file here and extract it.

        login to your wp-admin dashboard. and bam, you got yourself the theme or plugin.

        • Tom

          Thank the Lord (paul) this took way too long.

18. Nicolas

    Just go to your hosting control pannel -> Advanced -> PHP Settings -> upload_max_filesize ( it usually is on 2M you can change it up to 8M in my case… the point is that it shouldn’t be higher than your post_max_size)
    You are welcome!

19. Steven Gliebe

    functions.php is not the best place to put the code because raising the PHP max upload size limit is unrelated to a specific theme. Users shouldn’t be changing theme files directly anyway. wp-config.php is probably a better place. The .htaccess or php.ini method is even better (or just ask the host).

    Responder

20. Stephanie

    php.ini needs to be in wp-admin folder. This article states it needs to be in the root, which I tried but it made no difference. FYI

        So far, NONE of the above suggestions have worked. My control panel does NOT allow me to change the PHP Settings, modifying the .htaccess created an internal server error and modifying the theme failed to work as well. Have any other suggestions?

        • Mike Serovey

          With GoDaddy hosting, I discovered that I needed to use the lines of code that someone posted for the .user.ini file and then refresh my browser and recheck the plugin about three times each before the thing FINALLY worked!

    Hi

    Does anyone know why if the PHP.INI file is changed as mentioned why when the file has completed to 100% nothing happens and it displays http error.

    I can upload small files and small videos.
    I cant upload anything bigger than say 200mb

    I had this working and accepting larger files then I had a restore done on website.

    I have changed the PHP.INI…

    Is there any reason why just large files don’t work ?

    do I need to edit the hta.access file ?

    thanks

    IF YOUR STILL FINDING NOTHING IS WORKING..
    (In my case the problem was with WP MULTISITES)..,

    FIRST CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
    1. check your hosting limits (although this was not my problem) make sure your hosting allows the limit you are trying to set ie if on a shared hosting you might find the maximum is 64M.

    NOTE: The following solution may also apply If in WordPress, Maximum upload file size will not change even when changed in the php.ini file etc.

    The 1M max upload problem lies with WP MULTISITES default settings!!

    To change this, do the following to change the Maximum upload file size within WP admin:

    LOG INTO YOUR ADMIN DASHBOARD:
    1. At the top, hover over My Sites and then click Network Admin.
    2. At the left, hover over Settings and then click Network Settings.
    3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and change the Max upload file size to whatever you would like in KB.
    4. Click Save Changes.

    Hope this helps

    I am new to WordPress, I usually use Joomla but I have a new client that wants a WordPress site. When trying to upload images the WordPress message was that the file limit was 3Mb. I spent hours searching websites for an answer. I am using WAMP and localhost to create the site. Through localhost phpinfo() I could verify which php.ini was active, the one in Apache. I had a file limit of 64Mb but still WordPress had a 3Mb limit. This site gave the instructions under #3 to edit the .htaccess file in the WordPress folder. I copied and pasted the text into this file and IT WORKED! Thank you wpbeginner.

    forgot to mention, my WP site is in a subdirectory with a domain pointer. Powweb’s php applies to everything in all subdirectories. So if you have any installations in subdirectories the change applies to all installations.

    Create php.ini in wp-admin folder

    In the file put the following 3 lines:

    upload_max_filesize = 2048M
    post_max_size = 2048M
    max_execution_time = 3000

    Goto to your website as admin and check the upload new media page, it should now display Maximum upload file size: 2 GB.

      Holy crap! Thanks so much man, after the last wordpress update to 4.3.1 my upload size reverted back to the default of 50 MB even though my php.ini, .htaccess, and wp-config.php files hadn’t changed and were still reflecting a max upload size of 512 MB! You’re a hero!

      Responder

    • Alain

      Thank you very much!
      I tried ALL of the three methods with no results.
      I asked the webhost and the raised the limit to 40 MB.
      Then, finally, I tried yours and it worked fantastically!

      Responder

    post_max_size should be larger than upload_max_filesize to allow room for other information. The defaults are 2MB max file size and 8MB max post size.

    From PHP’s documentation:

    post_max_size integer
    Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file upload. To upload large files, this value must be larger than upload_max_filesize.

    Hi Guys, I’m REALLY new to this but can you look at what I see when I click to edit the .htaccess file – where do i add the code? at the start? at the end? Do I put my cursor at the begining and click return (then put it in) ??? Please help

    Responder

    • Gerard ONeill

      Deb, it wouldn’t matter where you added it; but make sure its outside of a block. To be safe, just add it at the end.

      However, the better way (as of php5.5) is to modify the .user.ini file in a per directory basis. If you did the top level directory, it would apply to all sub directories (unless overridden).

      http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.per-user.php

      And obviously the system wide php.ini works too.

    Responder

50. Chris

    If you’re just trying to upload files yourself in the admin panel (media), make a new plain text document, save it as whatever name (including extension) of the large file you’re trying to upload. So if you’re trying to upload “files.zip,” save a blank text document as files.zip. Upload this blank text file you just created in Wordpress. Then, go to FTP or file manager, go to wp-content/uploads/(whatever year it is)/(whatever month it is). You should fine files.zip there. Delete that file (which is just a plain text file) then upload the real files.zip, making sure the names match up. Then when you go back to media it will be the right file.
