How do I change my PHP settings?

This article applies to shared hosting plans our https://cp.blacknighthosting.com platform only. If you are on our older cp.blacknight.com platform please email help@blacknight.com if you need some php settings changed. If you want to change the PHP version itself on this platform please see here:

Plesk:

Sevices > My Services > Click on your Plesk plan (not on the domain name itself) > Click on the link to the Plesk control panel > PHP Settings

You can only edit some php-fpm settings here. If you wish to edit other settings, like the below, please contact help@blacknight.com. These are maximum we will set for a website on our Plesk plans:

max_execution_time: 120 seconds
max_input_vars: 5000
memory_limit: 384 MB
post_max_size: 64 MB
upload_max_filesize: 64 MB

cPanel\Wordpress:

1. Sevices > My Services > Click on your cPanel\Wordpress plan (not on the domain name itself) > cPanel

2. In the cPanel interface click on MultiPHP INI Editor > pick the domain you want to edit from the drop down (while you can try set the limits as high as you like here, they will not actually be any higher than the server limits)

If you do not know what a setting means, and your website developer or website application isn't asking you to change it, then you should not change that setting.

You might need to look at a cloud VM plan or dedicated server if you need to set a limit that isn't changeable here, or if you need a higher limit than you can set here.
