What You Need to Do?

Follow these easy steps to increase the maximum upload file size in your Bitnami WordPress installation. You won't need to change any PHP settings in cPanel or modify any PHP files. Just follow along and I’ll guide you through it.

Step 1: Access the Property File

The upload file size limit is defined in your server's configuration file. By default, the values for these settings might be:

upload_max_filesize  64M
post_max_size  64M
max_execution_time  300

If you need to increase these values, simply update them to the desired size:

upload_max_filesize  128M or size you want to put
post_max_size  128M or size you want to put

Additional Tips

For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, you can also use files to manage these settings. Here’s an example of how to achieve this:

php_value upload_max_filesize 64M php_value post_max_size 64M

If modifying these settings doesn't work, it's best to reach out to your hosting company. They may be able to provide you with more in-depth assistance or modify the settings for you.

Special Cases: Multisite Installations

If you have a WordPress multisite installation, the process slightly changes. Go to the Network Admin, click on settings, and navigate to the Network Settings. Here, you will find the option to set the max upload file size. You might also want to increase the site upload space. This would involve going to Network Settings and adjusting the settings accordingly.

For single-site installations, you might need to modify specific files, but those details are usually outside the scope of this guide.

Conclusion

Increasing the maximum upload file size in Bitnami WordPress doesn't have to be complex. By following the steps above, you can handle this task with ease. If you're still stuck, don't hesitate to reach out for help, whether from a professional or your hosting company.
