When you install WordPress on LiteSpeed server, you will use FPM instead of the default apache server to handle the web requests. However, a standard WordPress install only allow a maximum 2 Mb upload file size. To change the limit, you have to identify which php.ini to edit.
To do this, type
find / -name php.iniThis will list all the php.ini files from the root directory. If you are using LiteSpeed, you should have a local php.ini in a directory similar to
/usr/local/lsws/lsphp72/etc/php/7.2/litespeed/Note that 72 or 7.2 may differ depending on your default php version, which is 7.2 in my case.
Change the upload_max_filesize and post_max_filesize and restart your LiteSpeed server using the admin console.
