I am using the Windows desktop version of Flywheel and have the All-in-One Migration plugin installed on my WordPress site. However, it says hosting provider has imposed a strict 300 MB upload limit. There should be a specific method within Flywheel to modify this limit from 300 MB to 1024 MB, but I need guidance on how to do this effectively.
With Local, you can edit your own PHP values. Simply navigate to your Site Folder, Conf, PHP and then open your php.ini.hbs file in a text editor and search for upload_max_filesize =. It will be set to 300M and you can change that to 1000M or whatever you wish. Once you’re done you’ll need to Stop and Start your site so Local can compile the changes.
Not to be confused with Flywheel Hosting. If you use Flywheel as your host once your site is moved to their platform you’ll have to contact their support to edit this value since their Core files are locked down for security purposes.

You can change it to whatever you want but if you’re not getting fatal errors for memory exhaustion you shouldn’t need to change it. You might have to search for upload_max_filesize I believe it’s further down in that file.
