Problem
A few weeks ago I did a series on setting up a new WordPress site, shortly after I had some problems uploading my caching plugin (wp-rocket). This was the error I got;
413 Request Entity Too Large
nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)
Anyway, I fixed the error, and a few days later I got an email from someone with the same problem, so I thought this time I would document the fix.
Solution
Note: I’m going to raise the limits to 100Mb this might be far to large for you, 20 or 50Mb might be more sensible for most sites.
Firstly you need to make an entry in the nginx.conf file
If you’re unused to working in these config files, you are looking for the http section, just before this sections ends (i.e. before the end curly bracket ‘}’), insert the following text.
Exit and Save the file (ctrl+x, then ‘y’ {Enter}.
Restart nginx.
You will also need to enter the new values in the php.ini file.
Change the following values, like so;
upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M
Exit and save the file, then restart PHP.
