 * This seems very strange? What PHP version are you running?
    Can you please go
   to the status page and copy you settings and add them to this issue.

 * Like I said above you need to supply more information if i should be able to 
   help you.
    For instance:
 * 1. What PHP version are you running.
    2. How is PHP running as an Apache module
   or in CGI/Fast-CGI mode? 3. What hosting provider are you using. 4. Can update
   your question and add you current configuration from the status page e.g `wp-
   admin/tools.php?page=custom-php-settings&tab=status`?

 * Hello, this seems weird.
 * I am guessing that you hosting provider does not allow you to change this value.
   
   The only settings that is possible to change is the ones marked as non system
   and probably the have configured this as a system setting? Can you please ask
   your hosting provider if you should be able to change `max_execution_time` or
   not.
 * Regards,
    Krister

 * Hi Krister, I am asking my hosting provider, and them response me that if I need
   to change some PHP parameters, I need to try to create one file .user.ini, but
   is not possible to change file php.ini (for me is not possible to find.And now
   I don’t what to do, because I need 600 like a value and I have only 165. Thank
   you very much!
    Svetlana
