The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini error while uploading plugin

Seeing as though you've mentioned WAMP, I'm going to assume you can edit the php.ini file?

If you left click on the WAMP icon in the status bar, select the PHP menu and then click on the php.ini file in that menu. Just open it in Notepad is fine.

Then in Notepad, do a search (CTRL+F) for "upload_max_filesize", and then you can change the value that is set there.

I don't remember what the default is, but for mine, I have it set to "200M" (without the quotes). This means 200mb.

Save the file, close it, and then restart WAMP.

You should then be right to upload your plugin

We have seen this error at least once if we have used WordPress.When installing a theme, plugin or uploading an image or file, It has nothing to do with the theme or plugin. The issue is with our server settings which limit the maximum size for uploaded files.

It’s a common error and it can be easily fixed. This error message is an indication of that the file you are trying to upload is larger than your web host allows (WordPress default file upload size is 2 MB).

The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini

Solution:

A solution is easy, need to increase the file size upload limit.

If using WordPress on a local machine using XAMPP, we will find the php.ini in the following locations. Windows: C:/xampp/php/php.ini

Open the php.ini file. Find these lines in the php.ini file and replace it following numbers

upload_max_filesize = 64M

Save the changes and refresh your website and try uploading the file again. You will now get success.

In Wamp > PHP > php.ini file, put or edit these lines, and then restart your Wamp server.

post_max_size = 750M 
upload_max_filesize = 750M 
max_execution_time = 5000
max_input_time = 5000  
memory_limit = 1000M
