Method 2: Using Select PHP Version

To change your WordPress upload limit, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your cPanel account.
   Follow our guide to learn how to access your cPanel account.
   
   
2. Under the Software section, select “Select PHP Version”.
   
   Tip: Use the quick search bar at the top of your cPanel account for speedy navigation.

   Note: The settings are automatically applied after being changed.
