Issue upload_max_filesize setting not working on Windows

John Aquilio

New Pleskian
I am using Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 on Windows.

I went to "Websites & Domains"->PHP Settings for mysite.com, and there increased both "upload_max_filesize" and "post_max_size" to 8M, and hit Apply and OK. But, even after that, when I try to upload a new media to our Wordpress site, it says "Maximum upload file size: 2 MB". So, the PHP setting didn't work??

How can I increase the upload file size limit?

Thanks!
P.S. I also tried restarting the web server using "iisreset". But, even after that, the upload size limit stayed at 2MB.
 
Hello John,

Please make sure the changes are affected in your php.ini file. If not, try to change the values in php.ini, not via front-end.
