Some website tasks need higher PHP limits than the defaults – for example uploading a large file or importing a big website. You can change these limits using the php.ini editor.
First, log in to your Enhance panel – see how to login to Enhance Panel.
Open the php.ini editor
- Select Websites in the left side bar, then select the website you want to manage.
- In the menu along the top, open the Advanced drop-down and select Developer tools.
- Select php.ini editor in the menu on the left (or scroll down).
You’ll see a list of settings (directives) and their current values. Settings marked Inherited are our defaults.
Change an existing setting
Open the menu (⋮) next to the setting and change its value.
Add a new setting
Select Add directive, enter the setting’s name and its value, and save.
Example: increase the maximum upload size
- Add or change upload_max_filesize, with a value in megabytes followed by M – for example 200M.
- Do the same for post_max_size, using the same value or slightly higher.
Other common settings you can change the same way include memory_limit and max_execution_time.
Only change settings you understand, and keep values sensible. Very high limits can use more of your plan’s resources. If you’re not sure what value you need, ask us.
