[Feature Request]: Match post_max_size to upload_max_filesize

[Ratko-Solaja]

Feature Description

I have used Max File Upload Size feature to set my desired upload size, however, WordPress in Site Health, tells me that the post_max_size is less than upload_max_filesize.

Maybe, setting Max File Upload Size (upload_max_filesize) can also overide the post_max_size to match the value.

Is this feature valuable for other users as well and why?

No response

I’d love that. My CMS complains about the maximum upload size being 8M. The culprit is post_max_size though, not upload_max_filesize, which I set to 256 MB already.

Yes, agree, this needs to be done as it seems changing it in the php.ini doesn't seem to fix it for me. 😓

Changing post_max_size in all .ini files for Herd's PHP (clicking Show .ini file in menu bar), then closing and opening Herd did the trick for me.

AFAIK the post_max_size should be at least 30% more than the upload_max_filesize because of the base64 encoding of the binary image file.

I don't see the point of a box that allows changing of one and not the other as the user still needs to edit the php.ini file.

Either add post_max_size to the settings page or remove the upload size.

I changed these variables in all php.ini files, but it still doesn't matter as the nginx in blocking the requests.
I'm getting 413 Request Entity Too Large
nginx/1.25.4

Could we also access /etc/nginx/nginx.conf in Herd? I don't know where it is as /etc/nginx doesn't exist with Herd installed.

i got this error now with php 8.3, add post_max_size in php.ini not work, only working for upload_max_filesize

Adding post_max_size=200M to php.ini did the trick. Being able to change this in the GUI would be awesome though.
