Can't increase max upload file size in local WordPress
I am using my own localhost (ubuntu and apache2) to run wordpress 4.8. I want to increase the maximum upload file size. I tried these ways but didn't solve:
1.create php.ini
in /var/www/html
or modify it in /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
:
upload_max_filesize = 512M
memory_limit = 512M
post_max_size = 512M
max_execution_time = 300
2. change .htaccess
in /var/www/html
:
php_value upload_max_filesize 512M
php_value post_max_size 512M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300
3.adding this line of codes in a file functions.php
in the theme folder:
@ini_set('upload_max_size' , '512M');
@ini_set('post_max_size', '512M');
@ini_set('max_execution_time', '300');
4.Including Download the Max File Size plugin . this plugin changed the message Maximum upload file size: 2 MB.
, but after uploading a file larger than 2MB typed HTTP error.
. (to fix this I also tried every solution I found on the internet (ex: + , + , + ) but nothing changed, and also enabling wordpress log could not help me. nothing happened !! So I gave up. I think the root of this error is a bad fix for this problem)
5. Change the permissions of all files and folders to 777.
6.After every fix I tried, I also restart apache, but nothing changed:
$ sudo service apache2 restart

I shouldn't be creating a file php.ini
in /var/www/html/
. I found my way /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
to phpinfo()
. So I found it and changed the config to this file: upload_max_filesize
, memory_limit
, post_max_size
and max_execution_time
.
NOTE: I was right!
HTTP error.
while downloading is a bad solution for this problem. now i can load any media correctly :)

Go to C: /Xampp/php/php.ini and find:
memory_limit=.....M
Change it to:
memory_limit=10000M
Then scroll down to:
post_max_size=.....M
And change it to:
post_max_size=9999M
Search:
file_uploads=...
If he writes:
file_uploads=On
Scroll down and find
upload_max_filesize=....M
Write there:
upload_max_filesize=9000M
Also find:
max_file_uploads=.....
And write there:
max_file_uploads=10000M
Attention! Be careful! "Memory_limit" must have the largest number of megabytes. Next is "max_file_uploads", followed by "post_max_size" and the last "upload_max_filesize".
If there is still the same error, make your .htaccess like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /your_site_name/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /your_site_name/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
# WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded
<IfModule mod_php7.c>
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value upload_max_filesize 9000M
php_value post_max_size 9999M
php_value max_input_time 300
</IfModule>
