Changing PHP Ini file size didn't change anything…

Hello,

I am trying to upload the new Responsive Directory theme. I already have the DP 7.1.4 installed.

In my WP admin, I am going to the normal area to upload new themes, selecting to install, select my new zipped folder with the Responsive theme then getting the php ini. error message:

‘Maximum upload file size: 2MB.’

So I uploaded a php.ini file with the new file upload size at 64MB in my wp-admin directory folder, but this did not change my file upload size. I have refreshed my directory list via ftp, refreshed my wp admin area, logged out and logged back in. Nothing changed, still can only upload a 2MB file. Deleted the php.ini, uploaded a new one… nothing. 🙁

Can anyone please tell me how to change my upload size so I can add this new theme? Or am I supposed to upgrade and/or update my prior Directory Press to the Responsive theme some other way?

Thank you! 🙂
