Increasing Import File Limit in Wordpress

    I wanted to import a Wordpress eXtended RSS (WXR) file into my blog, but the limit on my blog is just 2MB, the file size is much more bigger.
    The error says: "The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini."

    How do i increase the limit?

    Theres 2 options. Either way you need that PHP.ini file edited.

    Option 1 - Ask your host to edit the file. Most hosts are completely fine with this. (this is only if you have no access to WHM).

    Option 2 - If you can access WHM, access it. Go to the category "Service Configuration" and select "PHP Configuration Editor". Edit the "core" - "upload_max_filesize" to whatever value you want. I have mine set to 50M.

    Hope this helps!
