increase max upload limit in wordpress

Question

I need to upload a PDF file to my wordpress site. When I go to Upload New Media, and try uploading it, it says

FileName.pdf

Answer 1

WHM/CPanel users Only

I have been struggling with this for a while now, I found the most simple way to solve this to login to your WHM > PHP Configuration Editor > Change (upload_max_filesize) then hit "SAVE".

This makes a change to your server's php.ini file (the simple way).
