Description:
I get the following Nginx error page when I try to upload my theme.zip file to my Wordpress Pro stack: "413 – Request Entity Too Large"

What is the max size Nginix allows for uploads? Can I change this and ifo so how do I change it? My theme zip file is 1.8MB, that's really not too big so not sure why this fails.

Nginx's client_max_body_size caps at 1 megabyte limit on Bitnami Nginx & SSL Package for WP. Incompatability w/ Divi CMS

I cannot upload Files greater than 2mb

Permission + Ownership error

Hello @usrlocal

You're looking for the client_max_body_size parameter of the NGINX configuration (more information at https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#client_max_body_size). By default, that's set to 1MB so, in order to change that, edit your configuration file /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/nginx-app.conf adding:

client_max_body_size 8m;

Best Regards,
