Motivation

You may want to increase the max upload size on your WordPress installation in order to upload a custom theme or larger media files.

Note: This will not work on shared hosting plans. This workaround is only for self-hosted WordPress installations.

How to

From your server, access the php.ini file under your PHP installation directory.

sudo nano /etc/php/<php_version>/apache2/php.ini

Find and replace the following lines with the correct values

upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 300

Restart apache to apply the changes

sudo systemctl restart apache2
