Hey,
I tried to follow this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/what-do-i-do-to-edit-wp-config-php-for-increasing-memory-allocated-to-php
But . … I can’t find the wp-config.php file in ‘/var/www/’. Screenshot here: http://s30.postimg.org/ddfd6d0g1/wp_mem.jpg
I had a search and found ‘wp-config.php’ in ‘/var/www/html’, but I’m not sure if that is the right one. Either way, adding ‘define( ‘WPMAXMEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );’ to that file didn’t seem to make a difference.
Any ideas?

You can do from within your php.ini file.
sudo nano /**YOUR**/**PATH**/**TO**/php.ini
Press Ctrl+W and search for upload_max_filesize ,set it to your desired size
upload_max_filesize=***100M***
Press Ctrl+W and search for post_max_size ,set it to your desired size, which needs to be at least the same size or larger than upload_max_filesize
post_max_size=***100M***
Save / Exit CTRL+X, Then Y, Then Enter
Restart PHP
Good luck! :)
Depends on where you have installed wordpress ofcourse. If wordpress is installed in /var/www/html your wp-config file will be there. If you like to increase the memory, you will have to edit the wp-config.php with define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M' ); for example.
You need to make sure you got enough memory for this and you got the proper php.ini configuration. If not, you need to allow php in the ini file to use enough memory. You can find out more about that online.
When in the administration area, the memory can be increased or decreased from the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT by defining WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT. You can therefor use
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
Please note, this has to be put before wp-settings.php inclusion.
