Hi @avalanche_designs . Thanks for reaching out and welcome to DevKinsta. 🙂 Are you uploading a file that’s larger than 128MB into your Media Library on WordPress? If so, the upload does need to be increased on PHP. I’m happy to provide guidance on how to increase that. Could you tell me if you’re on Windows or Mac? ---

Hi @hi5work_Agency - are you able to edit the file? The line you’re looking for has `post_max_size`. ---
