I would like to know why Media Upload does not detect the upload_max_filesize that had been set in .user.ini file as shown below.

max_execution_time = 10000
memory_limit = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 20M
post_max_size = 20M

This is the phpinfo.php.

This is the error message after uploading a 10MB PDF file.

I do not want to apply these settings in php.ini because there are still multiple projects are running inside the server. That is why I prefer to set all the setting in user.ini.

Any kind soul please help me edit the image link.
Much appreciate.

• Is your user.ini file in your wp-admin folder? – Tim Malone Commented Apr 22, 2016 at 5:50
• Hi @TimMalone, nope. It allocates at root directory. – Wee Hong KOH Commented Apr 22, 2016 at 6:33
• Try to place the following two lines into .htaccess file: php_value post_max_size 10M and php_value upload_max_filesize 10M – Max Yudin Commented Apr 22, 2016 at 7:09
• @Kane Uploads are handled in the wp-admin directory, so try placing it in there. I've had success with placing php.ini files in there on shared hosts. – Tim Malone Commented Apr 22, 2016 at 7:16

Thanks to @Tim Malone,

Just place .user.ini to /wp-admin to overwrite the setting.
