WAMP – Maximum execution time exceeded – Can no longer upload photos via WordPress Media Upload – PHP Versions

This is a recent issue that is causing a headache.

Each time I try to upload a photo via media upload, I am met with the upload bar reading 100%… a stall, and then an error stating:
Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded

The file could be tiny or big – it won’t even upload a 10kb file.

My WP debug log states the following:

[05-Sep-2021 16:07:56 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded in C:wamp64wwwsnswp-includesfunctions.php on line 8051
[05-Sep-2021 16:07:56 UTC] PHP Stack trace:

[05-Sep-2021 16:07:56 UTC] PHP   5. _wp_handle_upload() C:wamp64wwwsnswp-adminincludesfile.php:1037
[05-Sep-2021 16:07:56 UTC] PHP   6. clean_dirsize_cache() C:wamp64wwwsnswp-adminincludesfile.php:981

What I have tried:

  1. Restarting WAMP server.
  2. Upgrading my PHP version.
  3. Using a different theme.
  4. Deactivating all plugins.

One thing that may be the cause (and the only other thing I can think of), is that I recently installed and setup Homestead & Vagrant in order to create an environment to start developing using Laravel.

Could this have anything to do with it? If so, where do I start?

    In case anyone else runs into this VERY unique issue...

    The issue lied in the fact my site is a multi-site install. Apparently there is a cache bug that triggers this issue.

    Source: Where I found people with similar issue.

    Within that link someone had posted the following code, which can be installed as a plugin. Ultimately, it fixed my issue. Hope this helps someone until Wordpress fixes the bug.

    <?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Multisite Cache Bug 
 * Description: A potential fix for the problem mentioned at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iis-wordpress-5-6-multi-sites-file-upload-hang/#post-13867460
 * Version: 0.1

defined( 'ABSPATH' ) or die( 'No script kiddies please!' );

add_filter( "transient_dirsize_cache", function() {return; } );

    You need to change that configuration in the php.ini:

    max_execution_time = 1200

    or,

    left click on wampmanager icon -> PHP -> PHP Settings

    and find max_execution_time configuration

    That limit is part of the PHP.INI file.

    WAMPServer has made that a bit easier to change, and can be done from the wampmanager menu in the system tray

    enter image description here

    Left click the wampmanager icon -> PHP -> PHP Settings ->
    Max Execution Time

    Then pick a larger number from the dropdown. Wait a few seconds and wampserver will restart Apache and the new Max Execution Time will be set
