I have a huge file, 7GB to upload on my localhost. It is a copy of my live website that includes almost everything - themes, contents and media files.

Is there any way to migrate this? I tried to use All-in-One WP Migration plugin but the upload limit is only 300MB.

Another way to increase is by editing the .htaccess, but I cannot find it in the localhost.

Update .htaccess file php_value upload_max_filesize 128M php_value post_max_size 128M php_value memory_limit 256M php_value max_execution_time 300 php_value max_input_time 300

Upload to your local machine from where exactly? – esqew
You need to update your php.ini file. In that configuration file you will find upload size variables. Some variables worth editing: upload_max_filesize = 64M post_max_size = 64M max_execution_time = 300. Also you need to the same in wordpress @ini_set('xxx', 'xxx') – manish
You need to change in /php/php.ini ! and just add in wp-config.php @ini_set('upload_max_size' , '256M' ); – Bhavik Hirani
@esqew as i have mentioned 7GB is the copy (backup) of the live site. I am trying to setup the site on my local machine. – ron.px

Just do the following steps, it may increase your size.

1. Editing the .htaccess File

  • Increase additional PHP limits by adding these lines into the .htaccess file :

    php_value post_max_size 256M
php_value memory_limit 512M
php_value max_input_time 180
php_value max_execution_time 180

2. Editing the wp-config.php File

  • the wp-config.php file located in your root directory. edit the wp_config. php file. Add the following line.

    @ini_set('upload_max_size' , '256M' );

3. Updating php.ini

  • Navigate to your php.ini file and edit it. If you can’t find it, ask assistance from your hosting providers. Locate the upload_max_filesize and increase it by changing its number. You can also boost a few other limitations, as shown below:

    upload_max_filesize = 256M 
post_max_size = 256M 
memory_limit = 512M 
max_execution_time = 180

Save the file, and that’s it, the error should no longer occur.
