How to Adjust PHP Settings in cPanel

Some applications need more upload size, memory or execution time than the defaults allow. cPanel’s INI editor lets you adjust these PHP settings without touching files.

Common settings to change

The usual ones are memory_limit (for heavy plugins), upload_max_filesize and post_max_size (for large uploads), and max_execution_time (for long-running tasks like imports). Raising these fixes many "limit exceeded" errors.

Edit them

Open MultiPHP INI Editor, choose your domain, and adjust the values in the editor. Changes apply immediately, so you can test the result right away.

Don’t over-raise

Set values to what your application genuinely needs, not arbitrarily high. Excessive limits can let a runaway script consume resources. If you constantly need more, investigate why the app is so demanding.
