If you are using Bitnami WordPress in any Cloud Platform like Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, then you will find the issue of upload limit, there is by default only 40 MB configured in your Bitnami WordPress.
So we are going to increase the file upload size 40 MB to 400 MB.
If you are using Google Cloud Platform or Other, then use the same procedure shown below the images.
Connect Compute Engine with SSH
If you are you using cloud hosting then this step would work properly.
sudo -i
sudo nano /opt/bitnami/php/etc/php.iniOpen WordPress /php.ini
After executing the command there will be open a page of /php.ini
Click the keyboard icon on your screen showing as above the image, then a pop up will open showing keyboard shortcut, choose ctrl+w and search post_max_size and hit enter.

How to increase the WordPress upload limit by Plugin?
Go to WordPress dashboard and click Plugin then click Add New.
Search new plugin by typing “file”, and above shown the image, as it as plugin install and activate. The plugin name is “File Manager“.
After activating the plugin, open the WP File Manager dashboard, and find the .htaccess file.
Click the Pen tool and edit the .htaccess and add the following value.
php_value upload_max_filesize 500M
php_value post_max_size 500M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300Note:- This last method will work, there is no guarantee. Because this method mostly works with cPanel hosting and others, but there is no guarantee on Cloud Hosting.
