Post_Max_Size PHP 7.0

Hi,

Recently upgraded Ubuntu and along with it PHP from 5.6 to 7.0. My Wordpress file upload settings were wiped out in the process.

I changed php.ini to adjust the Max File Size from 2MB to 64MB but when I checked in wordpress, the max was capped at 8MB. I believe that there is another field called PostMaxSize that is overruling the 64MB, but it isn't showing in this PHP.INI file. I know that there are a few versions of the PHP.INI but figured I was in the right one since it does allow me to change as far as 8MB.

Any idea where the PostMaxSize might be hiding?

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
; http://php.net/upload-max-filesize
upload_max_filesize = 64M

; Maximum number of files that can be uploaded via a single request
max_file_uploads = 20

phpinfo() should tell you which php.ini is being used

settings in php.ini can be overridden by runtime settings and .htaccess

According to: http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php

postmaxsize has a default of 8M.

Add this parameter to your php.ini and set it to be the same/bigger than your uploadmaxfilesize.

Remember that in most cases, a change in php.ini won't take effect unless you restart Apache.
