upload_max_filesize strange problem

    I need to have 128 mb as upload_max_filesize in a wp website (the new template I’m installing requires it)

    I set in the server (I have a dedicated server with whm) php.ini the max_upload_filesize=128 mb

    The problem is that wordpress keeps to give me 10mb as max file size. I checked other wordpress installations on the same server and there I have the right value of 128 mb. So it seems that the problem is not on the server side and php.ini

    I didn’t install myself this website, there was another webmaster at the time. So I’m wondering if on the wordpress installation there is a setting that is overriding the php.ini settings.
    Any suggestion? Where could it be located this setting? I checked for the moment if there is a php.ini in the website root (and there isn’t) and the wp_config.php (and there is only a define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’96M’); )

  • Check the value of post_max_size. File uploads will be limited by the smallest of it and upload_max_filesize.

    Speaking of which, double check you filesize setting. The correct name is upload_max_filesize.

    You probably also need a memory limit higher than 128MB, with a bit of headroom.

    I have to ask though, what template requires 128MB? That’s enormous.

    Also, you’d probably be better off uploading the template/file via FTP. Increasing your server’s resource limits for a single upload is not necessarily a good idea.

    Thanks for the reply

    post_max_size is 128M
    upload_max_filesize is 128 m
    memory limit was 128M, I put it at 150 M now

    but if I go to wordpress/media/add new, it still give me 10M as max upload limit

    Otherwise, if I go to another wp installation on the same dedicated server, in media I got the right value of 128M as max upload.

    So what I’m trying to find is if it’s possible that in the wp installation some settings is overriding the php.ini settings of the server, and where I can find it.

    Template name is Mr.Tailor. Yes I could try to upload via FTP but it’s still an issue that I can’t change on the wp installation the upload limit on a size higher than 10 MB. I would like to fix this issue somehow.

    Ok i fixed the issue, I write it, maybe it could help someone in the future.

    The previous webmaster uploaded in the /wp-admin directory (and not in the website root, where I was searching) a php.ini file that was overriding the server settings. I deleted that php.ini file and it fixed the problem.

    I had the same problemo. Did the above steps still didn’t work.
    Then I copied my public_html/php.ini to public_html/wp-admin and now it works.
    Hopefully this helps someone else.
