@diondesigns oh right, I see. But if the post_max_size is greater than the memory_limit could that not cause issues? Doesn’t it make more sense to have a max post size that is less than or equal to the memory limit?

@gorgeouskitty the reason for the message suddenly appearing is because a new Site Health check was added as part of WordPress 5.5, to give a warning when there is a mismatch in allowed values

@gorgeouskitty you should be able to locate the php.ini file within the ‘File manager’ within cpanel. Alternatively, depending on your host you may have something under ‘Software’ in cpanel that allows you to edit that file. I have something called ‘MultiPHP INI Editor’, for example.

Failing that, your host provider should be able to update it for you.

In my case I had the following mismatch in my php.ini file on the server:

memory_limit = 256M
post_max_size = 260M
upload_max_filesize = 256M

I changed post_max_size to post_max_size = 256M in that file and the warning is no longer being displayed in WordPress
