How to increase the max upload limit

If WordPress refuses a large theme, plugin or media file, the PHP upload limit is usually the cause. You can raise it in cPanel.

Step-by-step

1. Log in to cPanel and open Select PHP Version, then Options.
2. Increase upload_max_filesize and post_max_size to the size you need.
3. Optionally raise memory_limit and max_execution_time for very large files.
4. Save and retry your upload.

Tips

Only raise limits as much as you need. If you cannot change these options on your plan, contact support and we will adjust them.
