Hi @fearRacious,

To increase WordPress max file size:

1. Access your server (control panel or SSH).
2. Find the correct configuration file: php.ini in root directory (shared hosting) or /etc/php/... (VPS/dedicated).
3. Edit the file and increase upload_max_filesize and post_max_size values.
4. Save changes and restart web server (if needed).
5. Check WordPress settings and contact your host if unsure.
