ICT – Blog – [20230627] – Setting the Max Upload File Size for WordPress on Fedora

ICT – Blog

Today, I increased the maximum upload file size for WordPress on http://www.jdj. It took more time than expected, and I realized that I never documented my approach on https://jandejongh.eu.

Notes

  • Edit /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php, and add something like the following near the end:
/* JdJ20230627, following https://www.cloudways.com/blog/increase-media-file-maximum-upload-size-in-wordpress/ */
/* Same solution as on jandejongh.eu */
@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '32M' );
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '32M');
@ini_set( 'memory_limit', '128M' );
  • Edit /etc/php.ini and modify the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size entries:
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
; https://php.net/upload-max-filesize
; JdJ20230627
; upload_max_filesize = 2M
upload_max_filesize = 32M
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
; Its value may be 0 to disable the limit. It is ignored if POST data reading
; is disabled through enable_post_data_reading.
; https://php.net/post-max-size
; JdJ20230627
; post_max_size = 8M
post_max_size = 32M
  • Now # systemctl restart httpd php-fpm.
  • Note that just editing /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php, as suggested by many resources on Internet, is not enough for the particular Fedora WordPress deployments.
