Increase WordPress Upload Limit

—

### 1. **Update the `php.ini` File**
If you have access to your server's `php.ini` file, update it with the following values:

upload_max_filesize = 128M
post_max_size = 128M
max_execution_time = 300

– **Steps:**
1. Locate the `php.ini` file in your server (commonly found in `/etc/php/8.x/apache2/` or `/etc/php/8.x/cli/`).
2. Edit the file and save changes.
3. Restart your web server for changes to take effect:

sudo service apache2 restart

### 2. **Modify `.htaccess`**
If you don’t have access to `php.ini`, add the following to your `.htaccess` file in the WordPress root directory:

php_value upload_max_filesize 128M
php_value post_max_size 128M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300

– **Note**: This method works only if `mod_php` is enabled on your server.

### 3. **Add Code to `wp-config.php`**
Add the following code snippet to your `wp-config.php` file, just before the line `/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */`:

@ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '128M');
@ini_set('post_max_size', '128M');
@ini_set('max_execution_time', '300');

### 4. **Use a Plugin**
If you're not comfortable editing server files, you can use a plugin like **WP Increase Upload Filesize** or **Increase Max Upload File Size**. These plugins allow you to adjust the limits from the WordPress admin panel.

### 5. **Check with Your Hosting Provider**
If you’re on shared hosting and none of the above methods work, your hosting provider might have strict limits. Contact them to increase the upload limit for your WordPress site.

Once you’ve made the changes, verify the updated upload limit:
1. Go to **Media** > **Add New** in the WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Check the **Maximum upload file size** mentioned below the upload area.

Here’s how your updated `.htaccess` file should look:

# Increase upload size limit
php_value upload_max_filesize 128M
php_value post_max_size 128M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300

# BEGIN WordPress
# Die Anweisungen (Zeilen) zwischen `BEGIN WordPress` und `END WordPress` sind
# dynamisch generiert und sollten nur über WordPress-Filter geändert werden.
# Alle Änderungen an den Anweisungen zwischen diesen Markierungen werden überschrieben.

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

### Key Notes:
1. Place the `php_value` directives **outside** of the `BEGIN` and `END WordPress` markers to avoid them being overwritten.
2. Make sure your hosting environment supports `.htaccess` directives and `mod_php`. If you're using PHP-FPM or certain hosting configurations, these changes might not take
