MaxLimits – Increase Maximum Upload, Post & PHP Limits
Struggling with errors like « upload_max_filesize exceeded » or hitting PHP memory limits?
MaxLimits provides a simple, user-friendly interface to increase common WordPress and PHP resource limits without needing to edit server files like php.ini or .htaccess.
MaxLimits is now a freemium plugin. While the core features remain free, we have introduced a PRO version for power users and mission-critical sites.
FREE Version Features:
* Increase Limits: Adjust upload size, memory limit, execution time, and more.
* Standard Optimizer: 1-Click setup for standard WordPress sites.
* Live Server Status: Monitor your server’s actual limits in real-time.
* Manual Code Generator: Get .htaccess and .user.ini snippets for manual patching.
* Direct File Writing: Automate limit increases via .htaccess.
PRO Version Features: * Emergency Recovery Mode: A standalone « Rescue Link » to fix your site in seconds even if WordPress crashes. * Advanced 1-Click Optimizers: Instant setup for WooCommerce, Elementor, Divi, and « Maximum Power » modes. * Custom Limit Values: Set any specific value you want for your resource limits. * Export/Import Settings: Move your high-performance configurations between sites. * Priority Support: Get direct help from the developers at DominoPress.
MaxLimits allows you to adjust:
- Max Upload File Size (
upload_max_filesize): Upload larger images, videos, and files. - Max Post Size (
post_max_size): Ensure large form submissions or page builder saves work correctly. - PHP Memory Limit (
memory_limit): Provide more resources for demanding plugins like WooCommerce or page builders. - Max Execution Time (
max_execution_time): Allow longer processes like imports, exports, or backups to complete without timing out. - Max Input Time (
max_input_time): Give scripts more time to parse input data, especially important during large uploads. - Max Input Vars (
max_input_vars): Increase the limit for complex menus, theme options, or page builder saves.
Why Choose MaxLimits?
- Ultra-Premium UI: Beautiful, modern dashboard with animated shimmer logo and smooth transitions.
- Emergency Recovery Mode: Your site’s « Panic Button » for when things go wrong and you’re locked out.
- Two-in-One Solution: Attempts to set limits at runtime (via
ini_set()) and provides an optional, automated.htaccessfile-writing method for restrictive hosts. - Automated .htaccess Writing (Opt-in): If
ini_set()is blocked, you can enable a feature to write rules directly to your.htaccessfile, just like a caching plugin. - Flexible Value Selection: Choose recommended values from dropdowns or enter a specific custom value.
- Context-Aware Recommendations: Get smarter guidance on limits based on active plugins like WooCommerce.
- Live Server Status: See the actual limits currently active on your server, confirming if changes took effect.
- Dashboard Widget: View your current server limits at a glance right from the WordPress dashboard.
- Manual Code Generator: If you don’t want to use the automated writer, the plugin still generates
.user.iniand.htaccesscode snippets for you to apply manually. - Lightweight & Secure: Built following WordPress best practices. No bloat.
- Opt-in Usage Tracking: Help improve the plugin by allowing anonymous, non-sensitive usage data collection (fully optional).
- Always Free Core Features: A powerful tool for all WordPress users.
MaxLimits first attempts to modify these settings at runtime using standard PHP functions. Please note: Some hosting providers may restrict this. For those hosts, you can enable the experimental Direct .htaccess Writing feature. The « Current Server Values » panel will always show you the limits your server is actually enforcing. This plugin is developed by DominoPress.
