Setting PHP Upload Max Size

You may receive a message in WordPress like:

"trace.zip exceeds the maximum upload size for this site" or "the uploaded file exceeds your upload_max_filesize directive".

If so, you may want to increase this setting. This setting can be applied on a per website basis, on a server level (applying only to websites assigned to that specific application role), or globally (the default setting for all Application roles and websites).

Increase size on a single website

To increase the PHP Upload Max Size on a single website log in as site user and do the following:

  • On the Control Panel Sidebar select the Services
  • Click Developer Tools and select php.ini editor
  • In the directive box put upload_max_filesize, select text and input your desired maximum value in the Text field
  • Click Create to finish
Tip

You should set upload_max_filesize and post_max_size to the desired maximum value. This should be specified in megabytes and suffixed with an M. For example, 200 megabytes would be written as 200M.
