 * Hi,
 * Please can someone tell me how to increase the upload file size on the hueman
   theme.
 * I have seen: [http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/](http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/)
 * but wonder if anyone knows exactly the best way and the file location to achieve
   an increase in the upload size.
 * I have cpanel and file manager access.
 * Thank You
 * Paul

 * Hi Paul. I’m not aware of anything in the Hueman theme that would limit your 
   upload file size. Here is a [recent article](http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/is-the-wordpress-upload-limit-giving-you-trouble-heres-how-to-change-it)
   that discusses options on your host and in WP to adjust the file upload limit.
   Hope that helps.

 * Thanks bdbrown,
 * It worked!
 * For anyone else with the same issue the solution on host [http://www.zen.co.uk/](http://www.zen.co.uk/)
   using the Hueman theme was:
 * Using .user.ini
 * Create a new file, and this time call it “.user.ini”. In that file, paste the
   following code:
    upload_max_filesize = 64M post_max_size = 64M memory_limit =
   64M max_execution_time = 300 You can change the value of 64M to match your new
   desired upload limit. Save this file, and then drag it into the directory of 
   your WordPress install using FTP. If you have the ability to restart your server,
   you should do so. The changes may take a bit to take effect, but go to Media -
   > Add New to confirm.
 * Thanks Again!

 * It goes in root WP folder which is the folder you have highlighted. If you have
   access to cPanel [here are some instructions](https://documentation.cpanel.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2719861)
   on creating the file directly on the host instead of your local computer. Here
   is [another article](http://blog.everleap.com/tweaking-php-settings-with-a-user-ini-file/)
   that might help.
