If the above solutions did not work for you, you will need to contact your WordPress hosting provider for the final solution.
The WordPress file upload limit is basically related to the resources your hosting provider has allocated to your site. Hosting services sometimes limit the file upload size for their own sake. For example, by limiting the file upload size, you can prevent your users from uploading large files, videos, etc.
But sometimes, it can restrict you from uploading useful files to your site and installing WordPress plugins . When such a problem occurs, you can try one of the above methods or ask your hosting provider to increase the maximum file upload size for your site.
For example, we use Bluehost for some of our projects and they quickly resolve these types of issues.

For storage and security reasons, you can restrict the file types your users can upload by specifying the types in this field, each separated by a comma.
WPForms allows you to specify the maximum file size allowed in megabytes. By default, it allows a maximum of 128MB. You can increase this limit if you accept large files such as high-resolution images.
There’s even an option to specify the number of files a person can upload. If you’re accepting an ID, the front and back of the document are enough, so you can limit it to 2 files. Learn more in our guide on how to create a file upload form with WPForms .
