I need to increase the limit past 300MB to restore a site. I searched and found this topic has been posted multiple times, but they were all closed and none of them has a solution.

I tried editing the wp-config.php and .htaccess files per the instructions from the plugin. It doesn’t change the 300 limit. I have triple checked, restarted sites, rebooted computer, but it still has the 300MB limit.

Why is this? Does localwp not honor custom wp-config.php entries? How do I restore a site using all-in-on wp migration running on localwp?

Hi @Rand

Values like `upload_max_filesize` can be edited in the `php.ini.hbs` file within the site’s `conf/php/` folder. Just open that up in your preferred text editor, adjust the value and then after making any adjustments be sure to stop the site and re-start it so that Local can compile and use those new settings.

I just tested this on a site to reply to another thread this morning and it still worked fine 🙂
