I see this question so much! everywhere I look lacks the real answer.

The php.ini should be in the wp-admin directory, if it isn't just create it and then define whats needed, by default it should contain.

upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 300

Wordpress dont have a php.ini file. It just a cms, look into your server. for example if you use XAMPP in windows xampp\php\php.ini is the location.

I used this, very cool tool

//wordpress.org/plugins/php-settings/

This plugin provides a simple user interface with a code editor to edit your local .ini settings.

This can be used to change settings like upload_max_filesize or max_execution_time which are often set to very low values by the hosting companies.

Unheilig

Okay. Answer for self hosted wordpress installations - you'll have to find the file yourself. For my WordPres site I use nginx with php7.3-fpm.

Running php -i | grep ini from console gives me several lines including: Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php/7.3/cli/php.ini. This is ini configuration when running php command from command line, a.k.a. cli.

Then looking around I see there is also a file: /etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini I use FPM service so that is it! I edit it and THEN reload the service to apply my changes using: service php7.3-fpm reload.

That was it. Now I can upload bigger files to my WordPress. Good luck

Open .htaccess file in a code editor like sublime text and then add..

php_value upload_max_filesize 1000M
php_value post_max_size 2000M
php_value memory_limit 3000M
php_value max_execution_time 1800
php_value max_input_time 180

hope it helps..............it did for me.

Use the php_ini_loaded_file function to get the location of your php.ini file.
