 * The maximum upload size is controlled at the server-level, not by WordPress. 
   Here are three ways you can increase the upload limit:
 * 1. If you can edit or override the system php.ini file, increase the maximum 
   file and post sizes. For example, `upload_max_filesize = 100M ;` and `post_max_size
   = 100M ;`
 * 2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini file, add `php_value upload_max_filesize
   100M` and `php_value post_max_size = 100M` to your .htaccess file.
 * 3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to increase
   the maximum file and post sizes on your account. Keep in mind that most decent
   hosting providers allow this, and If your hosting provider won’t accommodate 
   you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting provider.
 * (in the above examples, the limit is set to 100MB)

 * Hi, I had tried to upload the images in the media section but unable to upload
   received below error:
    The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads.
 * Can you please help me to solve this error?

 * That sounds like a permissions error.
 * The /wp-content/uploads/ directory should either be 755 or 777: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-file-permissions/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-file-permissions/)
