    Hi Everyone! I attempted to install a premium theme with plenty of sample images- stock images that I need to provide the skeleton for my website. My max size upload is 7mb and I need to increase the post_max_size, upload_max_filesize, and max_input_time. I have PHP version 5.3.

    This is what I’ve tried and was unsuccessful at:

    Created a PHP.ini file through TextEdit on my mac with the following code:

    upload_max_filesize = 64M
    post_max_size = 64M
    max_execution_time = 500
    max_input_time = 500

    I took the PHP.ini file and dropped it into my wp-admin folder using FileZilla. I refreshed my website, closed the browser, reopened everything to no change at all.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks for your time.

    You might have to put the php.ini file in the main web root folder, and not in /wp-admin/. I’ve also recently seen that the local php.ini files are being ignored on some server updates to 5.3.x so I’ve had to add the directives into the sites .htaccess file to get them to work, so that’s worth a try if the ini files don’t work.
