Here are three ways to increase PHP’s memory allocation:
1. If you can edit or override the system php.ini
file, increase the memory limit. For example, memory_limit = 128M
2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini
file, add php_value memory_limit 128M
to your .htaccess
file.
3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to temporarily increase PHP’s memory allocation on your account. Keep in mind that most decent hosting providers allocate 32 MB to PHP under each account, and most decent hosting providers allow users to temporarily increase the memory allocation. If your hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting provider.
(in the above examples, the limit is set to 128MB)
Similarly, the maximum upload size is controlled at the server-level, not by WordPress. Here are three ways you can increase the upload limit:
1. If you can edit or override the system php.ini
file, increase the maximum file and post sizes. For example, upload_max_filesize = 100M ;
and post_max_size = 100M ;
2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini
file, add php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
and php_value post_max_size = 100M
to your .htaccess
file.
3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to increase the maximum file and post sizes on your account. Keep in mind that most decent hosting providers allow this, and If your hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting provider.
(in the above examples, the limit is set to 100MB)
