You should just try adding this to the 2nd line of your wp-config.php file.

This line handles your upload max filesize size *and* your php memory.

// this will change your max file size upload AND your php memory
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M' );

More info can be seen here regarding this code from the WP Codex (2/3 down the page):

Add below line on the top of wordpress main index.php :

ini_set('max_file_uploads', 100);

The default upload file size for WordPress is 2 MB, which is a problem if you want to upload a large media files. If you get this error, “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini”, follow these steps:

1. Locate the php.ini file inside the wp-admin directory (if you can’t find this file see notes below)
2. Find this line in the php.ini file “upload_max_filesize = 2M” and replace it with a higher value (e.g. “upload_max_filesize = 64M”)
3. You may also want to increase your max post size. Look for this line in your php.ini file “post_max_size” and increase it as well.
4. Save the changes to the file inside your wp-admin directory.
5. Try the upload again
6. If you still have issues, look for this file in your root directory and make the same changes.

If you don’t have a php.ini file in your directory, you can usually generate one from the control panels of your host.

You can download php.ini file from here.

Alternate way using

htaccess

Add this code in htaccess:

php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200

You can increase the file upload limit according to your requirement.

As you say, you only have access to cpanel, then go to "file manager" in cpanel and then follow Mahmood Rehman's steps.

You can also configure a FTP account and use ftp app like filezilla for downloading and uploading files direclty to the server, and also to edit php.ini and other files.

Another solution is to point the .htaccess to your custom PHP ini file:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress


suPHP_ConfigPath /public_html/php.ini

and the write your php.ini files

upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M

"Error : The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini." Solved by uploading my theme manually. I was also facing the same problem while uploading wordpress theme, My theme is of 3.2MB in size. I searched for following line in wp-config.php file,

// this will change your max file size upload AND your php memory define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M' );

But it was not found. so I tried another approach, I Log into cpanel went into the directory where wordpress is install then /wp-content/themes, choose upload option and upload my theme and it get installed. :D
