We can increase maximum upload file size for WordPress media uploads in 3 different ways.

That's are

.htaccess way
PHP.INI file method
Theme’s Functions.php File

For .htaccess way, add following code,

php_value upload_max_filesize 1024M
php_value post_max_size 1024M
php_value max_execution_time 1000
php_value max_input_time 1000

for PHP.INI file method, add following code,

upload_max_filesize = 1024M
post_max_size = 1024M
max_execution_time = 1000

for Theme’s Functions.php File, add following code,

@ini_set( ‘upload_max_size’ , ’1024M’ );
@ini_set( ‘post_max_size’, ’1024M’);
@ini_set( ‘max_execution_time’, ’1000' );

On cpanel - gt  software and services - gt  Select PHP Version    Choose a PHP version which not the native one  I recommend php 5 6 or last one  and you will have   see a new link  Switch To PHP Settings   click it  in PHP Settings you can set upload max filesize in last line   clicking on value   default is 2M     and you got a dropbox with values that you can set to upload max filesize  and click save

Login to your WHM panel if you have access to  Then go to Software -  MultiPHP INI Editor  Then select the php version from the dropdown  then scroll down for the upload max filesize which will be 2M by default  now increase it according to your need   Also enable the file uploads for HTTP file uploads for convenience   If you don t have access to WHM  then follow the  htaccess method
