MaxLimits Pro gives you WordPress controls for PHP settings that can affect uploads, form submissions, page-builder saves, imports, exports, and backups. Choose a recommended value or enter a custom one, then compare it with the value active on your server.

PHP limits and the tasks they affect

• upload_max_filesize sets the maximum size of an uploaded file.
• post_max_size affects large form submissions and page-builder saves.
• memory_limit sets the PHP memory available to demanding add-ons such as WooCommerce and page builders.
• max_execution_time controls how long processes such as imports, exports, and backups can run.
• max_input_time sets how long scripts can parse input data, including during larger uploads.
• max_input_vars affects complex menus, theme settings, and page-builder saves.

How PHP settings are applied

MaxLimits first attempts to set limits at runtime with ini_set(). Some hosting environments restrict those changes. If needed, you can enable the optional experimental method that writes rules to .htaccess. The Current Server Values panel shows which limits PHP is enforcing, and hosting restrictions can still affect the result.

Set limits and check the result

In WordPress, open Settings > MaxLimits and review the current server values. Choose a recommended value or enter a custom value for the setting you want to change, save the limits, then check the panel to see what is active.

If the active values do not change, open the Direct File Writing card and enable Enable Direct .htaccess Writing (Experimental). Save the writing method, return to the Limit Settings card, save the desired values, and check the current server values again. The host may still restrict a setting.

Pro recovery and optimizer tools
