PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 8978294 bytes

Question

I am getting this error when trying to upload an import on WordPress on my XAMPP local dev environment:

Warning: POST Content-Length of 8978294 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0

I changed the upload_max_filesize from 2M to 1000M, but that didn't seem to do anything.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Go to browser and search for "php.ini" and then open it , and change these two values :

post_max_size= 1000000000000M

upload_max_filesize= 10000000000000M

if you open the "php.ini" file using notepad , you can search for these two values by clicking : cmd+f

Answer 2

Already restarted your Webserver?

This will force php to reload the php.ini

Answer 3

From the XAMPP panel, click on the ADMIN button on the Apache site. Then choose to edit php.ini And add the missing post_max_size to a value you are comfortable with.

post_max_size = 100M
