How to increase the maximum upload size in WordPress

If a theme, plugin or large image will not upload and you see “exceeds the maximum upload size”, you can raise the limit from the DirhamHost control panel.

1. In DirhamHost open Select PHP Version (or MultiPHP INI Editor) and choose your domain.
2. Increase these values:

• upload_max_filesize → e.g. 128M
• post_max_size → slightly larger, e.g. 128M
• max_execution_time → e.g. 300

Save, then confirm the new figure under Media → Add New in WordPress, which shows the maximum upload size.

You can also add to wp-config.php: @ini_set('upload_max_filesize','128M'); — but the panel setting is more reliable. For very large uploads (big videos), it is better to host the video on YouTube or Vimeo and embed it, which also keeps your site fast on our NVMe servers.

Still capped? The web server may also limit request size — contact our team on WhatsApp +971 58 553 6767 and we will adjust it for your account.
