The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in pnp.ini (wordpress)

My Problem

I want to upload files in WordPress with large file size, but have error "The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in pnp.ini"

My Solution

Go to wordpress directory. for e.g:

cd /var/www/html/wordpress

Open file .htaccess

nano .htaccess

Add the following line at the bottom of the file:

php_value upload_max_filesize 256M

Then Save the changes.

That’s it! Increasing the upload_max_filesize value should automatically fix the error.

if not work, try to restart your web server (e.g. apache/nginx)
