How to update PHP limits in cPanel

Open MultiPHP INI Editor or Select PHP Version Options in cPanel. Choose the domain and adjust values such as memory_limit, upload_max_filesize, post_max_size and max_execution_time. These settings help when WordPress uploads fail, themes need more memory or imports time out. Avoid setting values extremely high, because badly written scripts can then use too many resources. Save changes and test the task again. If the limit still does not update, check for local php.ini, .user.ini or plugin settings. Contact support if server-level restrictions are required.
