First, connect to your server with an FTP program and browse to your wp-admin folder. Open the file php.ini in a text editor. If you don’t have the php.ini file you can download it here (right-click > Save As) and upload it to your wordpress/wp-admin/ directory.

On line 373 you should see post_max_size = ##M and on line 486 upload_max_filesize = ##M The M stands for file size in megabytes, so all you have to do is change these two numbers to the new size you would like to allow uploads of. 

That’s all!  Now you can upload larger files to your custom WordPress installation. Comment Name * Email *
