Yea I did, and while that is good practice, it didn’t quite work for me. Anything I set just kept WordPress at reporting 49MB, now that I disabled the POST limit and properly set the memory limit and file size everything works as expected.
I just wish I can set the max post size to 1GB, but like I said, for some reason WordPress hits a roof at 49M.

For all intents and purposes my problem is solved.
(Marking as such)

Ok, so after digging further and getting a response back from my hosting provider, there was another global php.ini file that was overriding everything else that I was unaware of.

While the loaded conf file was an ini in my www directory, there was another configuration path in /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/etc/php.ini

That one was untouched with all the limits set to defaults.

Now something else weird happened. After I set the limit to 1024M and WordPress reported 49M.

So honesty, I just said Fudge this Stuff! (Only I didn’t say fudge) and set it to ‘0’ to disable the POST limit all together and once I did that, WordPress reads
“Maximum Upload Size: .”
And uploads files without issue until my timeout limit, which I kept at 360s.

Nope, didn’t work. I even updated my ini to change the post_max_size and still reading 2M.

2MB limit.

I’m going to manually try to reedit my ini file and restart Apache.
I’m using the latest version of cPanel with EasyApache4 and noticed that my upload limit “broke” after my easyApache upgrade. When I first installed it, it worked with a recognized limit of 1GB (1024M)
With EasyApache4 and cPanel you get Multi-INI php so you can basically run different versions of PHP on the same server, but I double checked and ALL of my sites are on 5.6, and inherited their version from the primary settings in WHM.

I also used cPanel’s MultiINI editor to edit my PHP.ini file and its “wizard” didn’t have post_max_size, otherwise I definitely would not have set that to 8M

This is a temporary link to my phpinfo()

upload_max_filesize 1024M 1024M

It doesn’t make sense, if the php.ini, wp-config.php, funtions.php and .htaccess are all edited to allow for a 1024M limit, why doesn’t it work? Other sites on my VPS are enabled just fine. For some reason it’s just this one install of WP that isn’t working for me….

My global php.ini is as follows:
(PHP Version 5.6)
max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
max_input_vars = 1000
memory_limit = 512M
session.save_path = ""
upload_max_filesize = 1024M

No. I’m running my own VPS

I have discovered the culprit. MOD_SECURITY. I had it enabled via WHM, and the rules prevented certain HTTP POST requests. I currently disabled it via WHM (there’s also settings in cPanel if you’re not a reseller) until I can learn more about the rules settings.

It is also happening when trying to save settings such a as Reading and Writing settings. All redirect me to my homepage.

Be be fair @esmi my problem was never solved to begin with. So he would basically be making a duplicate post of a topic that remains unresolved.

Does anyone within WordPress have a solution to this problem? I’ve been patiently waiting for 3 months for an answer.

I haven’t find anything yet….

I have tried both of those solutions, and mod_security is not the issue.

I’m trying to get debug mode to work correctly and get you the results.

Nope just say’s “HTTP Error” in red text. It’s not like a 404 error or anything. it pops up in wordpress.

And my VPS is set up correctly. I had them do it twice already. I use Inmotion Hosting and they’re really good.

Well I adjusted those settings to see if it made a difference, which it did not, so I reverted back to my back up .ini file
Can WordPress just not handle large file uploads? I don’t get why it can actually perform the upload, but not load the page for entering the Meta information.
