I have found many solutions for this, but I’m looking for the simplest, least-intrusive way to change the maximum upload file size for WordPress. Specifically, for a droplet created with the LiteSpeed/WordPress image from DO’s marketplace.
I attempted to add the line php_value upload_max_filesize 64M to the bottom of the .htaccess file using LiteSpeed’s built-in “Edit .htaccess” menu command. It did nothing.
Also, I had to do a sudo reboot from ssh because I cannot figure out how to reboot just the web server, either.
sudo service nginx restartdoesn’t work.sudo service httpd restartdoesn’t work.sudo service apache restartdoesn’t work.sudo service apache2 restartdoesn’t work.
They all give me Unit <servicename>.service not found.
Finding and editing the correct php.ini file, then force-rebooting the entire droplet seems a bit harsh to me, as though there should be a more elegant way.
Is there?

Hi,
I just launched a new server and it seems to work from my end.
Could you also confirm if value updated or not from php info page? You can try creating an info.php file under /var/www/html with content
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
You’re welcome to direct message me @Eric via LiteSpeed community on Slack.
I should be able to help you fix the issue sooner that way.

I’m having this same issue. Tried post_max_size as well and restarted server but it won’t go above 16 M. Did we end up resolving?
I am having the same issue. Added to .htaccess, wp-config.php, php.ini (post and upload max size) to no avail.
