title: A simple guide to edit php.ini file
body: <p>Like many I have gotten stuck with Wordpress 2mb upload limit, I've done the research and it seems I need to change the <code>php.ini</code> file. I normally just use Cpanel for everything however for some reason, <code>php.ini</code> file is not accessible using Cpanel, I have full rights/access etc.. to server.</p>
  
  <p>So the question, how do I access the <code>php.ini</code> file?</p>
  
  <p>I note that the line of code to do this is probably very simple, but given I have no idea what to do with a line of code, it's ultimately useless to me, so please an idiots guide would be really useful.</p>

  <p>It appears I am not the only one with this issue - <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21012144/how-can-i-increase-max-file-upload-size-in-cpanel-using-wordpress?rq=1">How can i Increase Max_file_upload_size in CPanel using wordpress</a></p>
  
  <p>All we want to do is increase the upload_max_filesize from 2M - there have been many suggestions using wp-config or index.php - but none of these seem to work.</p>
  
  <p>It appears the only way to do this is to change the php.ini file, however this is only available to those who can connect using ssh, which doesn't work for me despite many hours of typing things into a terminal (I have the rights, just don't know what to do and can't find a step by step explanation online which works)</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone else have any ideas ??</p>
