This is related to the WordPress error you may get when trying to upload a file greater than 2MB:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While you can install plugins to get around this I found this did not work for me and I then got the error:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My install of WordPress or more specifically PHP follows the instructions in CentOS 7 + PHP 7.2 + Python 3.6 + Apache 2.4<\/a> so in this case I needed to update the php.ini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My php.ini file was at <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/etc\/opt\/rh\/rh-php73\/php.ini<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change the “upload_max_filesize” to say 10MB:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
; Maximum <\/span>allowed<\/span> <\/span>size<\/span> <\/span>for<\/span> <\/span>uploaded<\/span> <\/span>files.<\/span><\/span>\n; http:\/\/php.net\/upload-max-filesize<\/span><\/span>\nupload_max_filesize <\/span>=<\/span> <\/span>10M<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Then, since I am using fpm, you need to restart that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
systemctl <\/span>restart<\/span> <\/span>rh-php73-php-fpm.service<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
