Increase Upload Max File size in wordpress

Method 1:Theme Functions File

There are cases where we have seen that just by adding the following code in the theme function’s file, you can increase the upload size:

1	@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '64M' );

2	@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M');

3	@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );

Method 2: Create or Edit an existing PHP.INI file

In most cases if you are on a shared host, you will not see a php.ini file in your directory. If you do not see one, then create a file called php.ini and upload it in the root folder. In that file add the following code:

1	upload_max_filesize = 64M

2	post_max_size = 64M

3	max_execution_time = 300

This method is reported to work for many users. Remember if 64 doesn’t work. Try 10MB (sometimes that work).

Method 3: .htaccess Method

Some people have tried using the htaccess method where by modifying the .htaccess file in the root directory, you can increase the maximum upload size in WordPress. Open or create the .htaccess file in the root folder and add the following code:

1	php_value upload_max_filesize 64M

2	php_value post_max_size 64M

3	php_value max_execution_time 300

4	php_value max_input_time 300

Using above methods upload file size will be increased from 2MB to 64 MB like this
