title: increase max upload limit in wordpress
body: <p>I need to upload a PDF file to my <em>wordpress site</em>. When I go to <strong>Upload New Media</strong>, and try uploading it, it says </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>FileName.pdf exceeds the maximum upload size for this site.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I tried looking for my php.ini file but could not find it. I ran <code>phpinfo()</code> by creating a new file and then opening it in my browser and found this.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
  <pre><code>Configuration File (php.ini) Path 
  C:\Windows
  
  Loaded Configuration File 
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5\php.ini
  </code></pre>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I placed a php.ini files with </p>
  
  <pre><code>upload_max_filesize = 512M
  post_max_size = 512M
  max_execution_time = 300
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in wp-admin, httpdocs and everywhere I had access, nothing worked The max upload file size is just 8 MB. Please help me, My client needs to upload that file. </p>
  
  <p>Note: Please don't tell me to restart server, as I can't, It is a hosted site.</p>
