Cannot upload file of 18 mb to WordPress Media Library

  • Dear WP Community,

    I am facing an issue with file uploads to WordPress. I am trying to upload a few pdf files which are 10-20 mb in size.

    Every time I try to upload these, they keep ‘loading’ for quite some time. I don’t get any error messages, but eventually the upload stops and these files do not show up in the Media Library at all. WordPress tells me that I can upload files up to 300 MB in size, so I am a bit clueless what is stopping the upload.

    I have also installed the Big File Uploads plug-in, but it doesn’t seem to help.

    Would anyone happen to know how I can fix this?

    Thanks in advance for any guidance and insights you can offer.

    Edit: I have tried using different devices and internet connections to cross-out issues with my laptop or connectivity. No luck in uploading these files.

  • There are 2 ways with which you can upload the files to the WordPress media library

    1. Via FTP
    2. By modifying the php.ini file with following configuration

    upload_max_filesize = 50M
    post_max_size = 50M
    max_execution_time = 300

    Let me know if you face any issue
