HOW TO INCREASE WORDPRESS FILE UPLOAD SIZE - 2026 (BEGINNER GUIDE)

If you have ever tried uploading a theme, plugin, or media file in WordPress and received the error “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive”, this video will show you how to fix it.

In this tutorial, I walk you through how to increase the WordPress upload limit so you can upload larger files like themes, plugins, backups, and media without errors.

This is a common issue when installing themes or migrating websites, and every WordPress developer should know how to fix it.

In this video you will learn:

• Why WordPress limits file upload size
• How to increase the WordPress upload limit
• How hosting settings affect uploads
• Simple fixes that work for most websites
• What to do if the limit still does not change

These methods work for most hosting environments and are useful when working with themes, plugins, and migration files.

If you are learning WordPress development or building websites for clients, this is a skill you will use often.
