There are many reasons why you may need to increase your WordPress site’s maximum upload file size.
- You want to install a large theme or plugin directly through the WordPress admin dashboard.
- Updating your WordPress site regularly is a great way to keep your readers engaged and return for more. And that includes uploading new images, videos, audio, and other media regularly. However, that’s not always feasible when there’s a file size limit for your uploads.
- You want to upload a large video or image as your site’s background or header.
- You plan to sell digital files such as ebooks, photographs, videos, themes, and plugins directly from your site. Sometimes, these files can run up to hundreds of megabytes (or more).
