Issue Summary
Hi there, kook question.
I have set up Local on my laptop, i have gotten a wordpress instance up and running, now i need to import the demo site of the theme i bought.
When i try bring it in, (file size 440megs) i get a notification that its too large and the import is limited to Maximum upload file size: 300 MB.
I tried following the instructions provided and edited the wp-config.php file
@ini_set( ‘upload_max_filesize’ , ‘128M’ );
@ini_set( ‘post_max_size’, ‘128M’);
@ini_set( ‘memory_limit’, ‘256M’ );
@ini_set( ‘max_execution_time’, ‘300’ );
@ini_set( ‘max_input_time’, ‘300’ );
upload_max_filesize – set this to a value > than your backup - Set it to 500M
post_max_size – set this to a value > than your backup - Set it to 500M
memory_limit – set this to a value > than your backup - Set it to 500M
max_execution_time – set this to 0 (infinite)
Tested the changes by shutting down the site in local and then restarting it and launched a fresh instance of the WP backend. Again i tried to import the site backup and was told its too large max limit is 300.
So… what to do?

Attach the Local Log. See this Help Doc for instructions on how to do so:
Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.
