# Increase Upload Size in Your WordPress Multisite

After setting up [WordPress Multisite](/support/edu/wordpress/installing-wordpress-mu-network/) (MS), or Network, you may need to increase the maximum upload size allowed. You can view your current settings [by creating a *phpinfo.php* file](/support/website/php/create-phpinfo-page-to-see-php-settings) (ensure you’re in the [correct directory](/support/website/where-to-upload-files/)) and searching for *upload_max_filesize*. If [updating the *php.ini*](/support/website/increase-the-max-file-upload-size-in-php-ini/) (and/or *.user.ini*) file and setting the [.htaccess file as recursive](/support/website/recursive-php-ini/) don’t work, you’ll need to check the **Network Settings** in your WordPress dashboard.

## Increase Upload Max Size

1. [Log into your WordPress website](/support/edu/wordpress/logging-into-wordpress-dashboard/) directly or [via Softaculous](/support/edu/wordpress/how-to-log-into-wordpress-using-softaculous/).
2. Hover over **My Sites** and **Network Admin** to select **Settings**. [![Select Settings from the navigation bar](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/images/stories/WP/wp-multisite-upload-size-1-menu.png)](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/images/stories/WP/wp-multisite-upload-size-1-menu.png) Alternatively, you could select **Network Admin**, **Settings**, and finally **Network Settings**.
3. At the bottom of the page, update the **Max upload file size** in kilobytes (KB). You can use a converter such as within the [DuckDuckGo search engine](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=megabytes+to+kilobytes&t=ffab&ia=answer) to find the kilobyte equivalent to the needed megabytes.

4. Check your updated [*phpinfo.php* file](/support/website/php/create-phpinfo-page-to-see-php-settings).
