Factors Influencing Upload Size:

● Hosting Provider: Your hosting provider sets the maximum upload size for your website.

● Server Configuration: The PHP settings on your server, like upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, control the maximum file size that can be uploaded and processed.

● WordPress Configuration: While WordPress itself doesn't have a built-in setting for upload size, you can use the wp-config.php file to adjust PHP settings, which can indirectly increase the upload limit.

Methods to Increase Upload Size:

1. Increase PHP Upload Limits:

● php.ini file: Modify the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size directives in your php.ini file to increase the maximum upload size.

● wp-config.php file: Add ini_set('upload_max_filesize', 'X'); and ini_set('post_max_size', 'X'); to your wp-config.php file, where 'X' is the desired size in MB.

● .htaccess file: You can also add these directives to your .htaccess file.

2. Utilize Plugins:

● Increase Upload Limit Plugin: WordPress.com offers plugins that can help you adjust the maximum upload size.

3. Request from Your Hosting Provider:

● Contact your hosting provider and request them to increase your site's maximum upload size.

Important Considerations:

Server Limits:

Keep in mind that your hosting provider's server limits might still be in effect, even if you've increased the upload size in WordPress.

Large Files:

● For exceptionally large files, you might consider using FTP, splitting files, cloud storage, or a CDN (Content Delivery Network).

Resource Consumption:

● Be aware that uploading large files can consume server resources, so it's best to optimize images and other media to reduce their size.
