Wordpress Max File Size

I wanted to upload a couple themes and plugins on my wordpress and found out it hat a max filesize of 2MB. So I googled how to solve and did the following without any effects:

  • I changed the php.ini
  • I copied the php.ini into the wp-admin folder
  • edited the .htacces
  • edited the wp-config.php
  • dowonloaded a plugin which was able to increase the upload size of the media but not for the themes and plugins.

I'm running an Apache Webserver, PHP and MySQL on a Debian 8 vServer and used the following guide to set up multiple websites on the server: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-multiple-wordpress-sites-on-a-single-ubuntu-vps

Pretty frustrated right now so any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Following this answer here - if you haven't done so, make sure you run

sudo service apache2 restart

after you edit the php.ini file.

This was also answered in another thread by Rajender Joshi and it seems that you need to add this to end of your php.ini

upload_max_filesize = 512M
post_max_size = 512M
max_execution_time = 300
