Yes, you need to set the upload_max_filesize option to at least 5.13 MB to upload the plugin zip file. The PHP Memory Limit setting, which is currently set to 256 MB, is used to determine the amount of memory that PHP can allocate for a single request: https://themeisle.com/blog/increase-wordpress-memory-limit/

This is separate from the file upload limit, which controls the maximum size of files that can be uploaded to the server.

To ensure seamless uploading of the plugin zip file, consider setting the upload_max_filesize to a minimum of 5.13 MB. For greater flexibility in handling larger files going forward, you might want to consider setting it to 512 MB. 🙂

I’m using this article to update the file upload size using the “1. Modify PHP configurations on cPanel” method.
In my case, the upload_max_filesize (under PHP Options) is set to 2M. Whereas, in the Site Health > Info, the PHP Memory Limit shows 256 M.
I need to a plugin zip file with size 5.13 MB.
Do I need to set the upload_max_filesize to 512M or some other option?
I’m bit confused about it.
