increase max upload limit in wordpress – Plesk

I need to upload a PDF file to my wordpress site. When I go to Upload New Media, and try uploading it, it says

FileName.pdf exceeds the maximum upload size for this site.

I tried looking for my php.ini file but could not find it. I ran phpinfo() by creating a new file and then opening it in my browser and found this.

Configuration File (php.ini) Path 
C:Windows

Loaded Configuration File 
C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskAdditionalPleskPHP5php.ini

I placed a php.ini files with 

upload_max_filesize = 512M
post_max_size = 512M
max_execution_time = 300

in wp-admin, httpdocs and everywhere I had access, nothing worked The max upload file size is just 8 MB. Please help me, My client needs to upload that file.

Note: Please don’t tell me to restart server, as I can’t, It is a hosted site.

    Seeing as you’re on hosted service, try adding these to your .htaccess file as well:

    php_value upload_max_filesize 512M
php_value post_max_size 512M

    You won’t be able to change these via ini_set();

    Try with the following plugin:

    <?php
/* Plugin Name: Increase Upload Limit */

add_filter( 'upload_size_limit', 'b5f_increase_upload' );

function b5f_increase_upload( $bytes )
{
    return 33554432; // 32 megabytes
}

    I built this code based on the following core function:

    function wp_max_upload_size() {
    $u_bytes = wp_convert_hr_to_bytes( ini_get( 'upload_max_filesize' ) );
    $p_bytes = wp_convert_hr_to_bytes( ini_get( 'post_max_size' ) );
    $bytes   = apply_filters( 'upload_size_limit', min( $u_bytes, $p_bytes ), $u_bytes, $p_bytes );
    return $bytes;
}

    Another option is upload via FTP and use the plugin Add from Server.

    I tried different way like attempted to

    1. change my limit directly on my server
    2. through the .htaccess file
    3. wp-config.php

    but none of these changes worked for me. Then I came across a post somewhere That I summarised in a blog post(find below)

    All you need to do is

    1. create a php.ini
    2. upload to admin directory

    Your Php.ini may contain following or whatever limit you need

    memory_limit = 32M
upload_max_filesize = 32M
post_max_size = 32M
file_uploads = On

    What worked for me was editing the php.ini file at 

    /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

    and adding/editing the following options starting (~ line 786):

    memory_limit = 32M
upload_max_filesize = 32M
post_max_size = 32M

    WHM/CPanel users Only

    I have been struggling with this for a while now, I found the most simple way to solve this to login to your WHM > PHP Configuration Editor > Change (upload_max_filesize) then hit “SAVE”.

    This makes a change to your server’s php.ini file (the simple way).

    You have written php.ini file properly. Just mention path of your php.ini file inside .htaccess file using suPHP_ConfigPath/home/username/public_html. Here replace username with your username mentioned in cpanel. You can refer http://www.vinaypn.com/how-to-fix-maximum-upload-size-exceeded-error-in-wordpress-running-on-shared-hosting/

    This applies to cPanel users only. I’m not sure about which versions of cPanel it will work with, but it works with the version 56.0.33.

    Login to cPanel > Select PHP version > Switch To PHP Options > Click the greyed out number next to upload_max_filesize > Change > Save

    I believe this makes a change to the server’s php.ini file.

    I’m running WHM / cPanel on a CloudLinux based server. I tried everything. The final solution for me was adding a php.ini file to the /wp-admin/ directory with the following;

    memory_limit = 128M
upload_max_filesize = 32M
post_max_size = 32M

    Keep in mind I previously tried a php.ini in the document root and the web root directories and those didn’t fix the max upload limitation.
