There are many types of ways to upload the large file system. Here I am going to explain the TWO methods only.

Method-1

On the theme editor you can find the function codes, now just add the some like…

@ini_set( ‘upload_max_size’ , ’97M’ );

@ini_set( ‘post_max_size’ , ’99M’ );

@ini_set( ‘max_execution_time’ , ‘300’ );

Noted That: the post max size always greater than that of upload max size.

Don’t forget to save and see the File edited successfully message.

Now, you are all set and will be able to upload max size file of about 97 MB. Your media library now showing you the max file upload limit to 97 MB.

That’s all you have done now.

Method-2

PHP Version Method for Maximum Upload File Size

In this method I am going to proceed for upload size of 100MB.

It is amazing that you can change upload file size limit on the panel of PHP version. It’s so simple and quick method for you as well as for me also.

Now, you can proceed to upgrade or downgrade the PHP version here. As well as just one step ahead you will be able to extend the upload limit for the media library.

Here you have to choose the “switch to PHP options” which is located at the right upper corner of the page.

max execution time 300
post max size 128M (Here, but you can do it for your)

That’s all, which was your requirement.

Final Touch

The 2nd method is far better than the 1st. 2nd is no risk and no headache at all. Still, some prefer to do the 1st method in the WordPress dashboard section. But I am on the simple state on the 2nd method always.

Ok, success, now your turn… order me some Coffee, will take together. 🙂 🙂 🙂
