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

This applies to cPanel users only. I'm not sure about which versions of cPanel it will work with, but it works with the version 56.0.33.

Login to cPanel > Select PHP version > Switch To PHP Options > Click the greyed out number next to upload_max_filesize > Change > Save

I believe this makes a change to the server's php.ini file.
