How Do I Find My Maximum File Upload Size in WordPress?

Uploading files via WordPress is simple, but it’s important to understand the limits of your site’s file size in order to avoid any problems. By default, WordPress sets a limit of 4MB for any file you upload. To find out your site’s maximum file size, you can use the following steps:

1. Open your WordPress site in your browser.

2. Click the “Appearance” tab in the WordPress admin area.

3. Under “Settings,” find the “Uploads” section.

4. In the “Uploads” section, click the “Files” tab.

5. In the “Files” tab, under “Maximum file size” (or “Size limit for uploaded files”), find your site’s default limit.

6. If your site’s default limit is 4MB, that’s the limit you’ll need to be aware of. To upload files that are larger than 4MB, you’ll need to increase your site’s default limit. To do this, go to the “Settings” tab in the WordPress admin area and find the “General” section.

Under “Settings” find the “Uploads” tab, and under “Maximum file size” (or “Size limit for uploaded files”), click the “Change” link. Enter the new limit in the “Value” field and click the “Update” button.

If you need to upload files that are larger than 4MB, be sure to increase your site’s default limit as described in step 6 above. Additionally, if you’re having trouble uploading files that are larger than 4MB, you may want to consider using a file transfer service like FTP or SFTP.

These services allow you to upload files directly to your WordPress site, bypassing WordPress’s file size limit.
