Edit PHP settings with php.ini

When installing custom plugins and themes quite often the developer will require you to set custom (increased) limits for common PHP environment variables such as;

• upload_max_filesize
• post_max_size
• memory_limit
• file_uploads
• max_execution_time

To update any of these settings follow these steps:

1. Login to cPanel – if unsure on how to do so check this article.
2. Navigate to File Manager.

3. Select public_html

4. Use the +File button to create a new file and call it php.ini.

5. Right-click your new php.ini file and click Edit

6. Input the values you desire, then click Save Changes when you're done
