    I installed WP locally to fine tune my website. When I tried to import the data from my website (export) and tried to import it in my local installation, I got the “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.” error. The file is 2.2 MB, I had set upload_max_filesize = 3M in both apache2 and cli php.ini. In wp-config.php the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT is 64 MB. WordPress insists that it has a 2MB upload limit. What else can I do?

    Have you restarted your local instance of Apache? I know I was able to raise the limit in Wamp, years ago, after following some tutorial I’ve found on Google.

    Thanks, I had tried several restarts, which should cause restarts of the Apache2 server. Didn’t help. But “miracle over miracle”, this morning WordPress suddenly was able to digest my 2.2 MB import.
