      \u2753 What happens if I set a limit higher than the server allows?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Your server configuration takes precedence. To raise actual limits, edit php.ini<\/code>, .htaccess<\/code>, or contact your host.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      \u23f1\ufe0f What\u2019s a good value for max execution time?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      300\u2013600 seconds is a safe range for large uploads, depending on your hosting environment.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      \ud83d\udd04 Why don\u2019t my changes apply instantly?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      PHP-FPM or server caching might delay updates. Clear your cache or restart PHP processes.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      \ud83d\uddc2\ufe0f Can I upload files over 2GB?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes \u2014 but only if your server supports it. Many shared hosts cap file uploads at 2GB.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      \ud83d\udcca How can I see my current upload limits?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Go to Tools > Site Health > Info > Server<\/strong> or ask your web host directly.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
