Surely you’re wondering how to change the upload_max_filsize value from 2MB to 128MB in your WordPress website hosted on a Synology NAS device. In this article I will teach you not only how to change the upload_max_filesize value, but also how to change all the following PHP values to the maximum values:

upload_max_filesize 128M
post_max_size 128M
