I am adding an answer based on my experience and also thanks to Michael Cropper and Salman von Abbas for their inputs.

The php.ini file is created when php is installed on the server. I believe that wordpress installation requires php to be installed on the server. So your webhost typically installs it on their server and then sells you the hosting space. Then you install your wordpress on it.

Hence, it follows clearly from this that the php.ini file will not be present in the wp-admin folder.

So you need to look for it either at your root folder (but most likely it won't be there if you're on a shared webhosting plan). Then you need to create a file as such:

create a new file in the location = /public_html/your_domain/any_name.php

Put the following code inside the file:

<?php
$inipath = php_ini_loaded_file();

if ($inipath) {
    echo 'Loaded php.ini: ' . $inipath;
} else {
    echo 'A php.ini file is not loaded';
}

Now try to access the file through your browser as follows:

https://your_domain/any_name.php

This should show a message that clearly states the location of your php.ini file.

If you're on a shared hosting plan then you probably won't have access to this folder. You will need to inform the web hosting support to take care of this for you.

Hope this helps!

A php ini file is not installed by default with Wordpress  You may have one already installed by your web host  Look in your root directory or ask your web host or read your web host s documentation on how to install one   Look for max execution time in your php ini file and change to 60 or 90

The name of the custom ini file depends on the user ini filename php setting  By default this should be  user ini and the custom configuration files are used on a per-directory basis  so you should be able to either put it in the root of your Wordpress installation or under the wp-admin folder   You can check the name of your custom configuration file by running   php -i   grep user ini filename   I have created a plugin which makes it possible to change php settings from the Wordpress administration   Custom PHP Settings  The plugin makes it possible to change settings either using the  htaccess file or the custom php ini file  depending on how php is running

Okay  Answer for self hosted wordpress installations - you ll have to find the file yourself  For my WordPres site I use nginx with php7 3-fpm    Running php -i   grep ini from console gives me several lines including   Loaded Configuration File   gt   etc php 7 3 cli php ini  This is ini configuration when running php command from command line  a k a  cli    Then looking around I see there is also a file   etc php 7 3 fpm php ini I use FPM service so that is it  I edit it and THEN reload the service to apply my changes using  service php7 3-fpm reload    That was it  Now I can upload bigger files to my WordPress  Good luck

If you have access to our webroot  create a file asdf php with   lt  php phpinfo      gt    in it and point your webbrowser to it  You should see all info in the first section    Configuration File  php ini  Path Loaded Configuration File Scan this dir for additional  ini files Additional  ini files parsed    This works for any php application and is therefore the universal way to find our php ini

I used this  very cool tool  https   wordpress org plugins php-settings    This plugin provides a simple user interface with a code editor to edit your local  ini settings   This can be used to change settings like  upload max filesize or max execution time  which are often set to very low values by the hosting companies

I just came across this thread while searching for an answer to why the php ini file would be within the  wp-admin  folder for WordPress that I have just seen in an odd setup - because it really really shouldn t be there    WordPress by default doesn t include a php ini file within the  wp-admin  folder  so you should not have one there yourself  The php ini file is designed to override the main server PHP configuration settings so that your account on the server is treated differently  within limits  As such  if you do need to use this file  please  for your own sanity  and that of others who happen to work with your systems in the future      place the php ini file in the root of your account  not hidden away in the  wp-admin  folder  or any other folder for that matter    I m surprised to see so many others commenting that it should be in the  wp-admin  folder to be honest  I d love to see some official documentation from WordPress stating that this is best practice  as this is certainly something that I would completely avoid
