Change upload file size settings?

#1

I am trying to change the upload file size in my wordpress media library. I have a setting in my php.ini file that says Upload_max_filesize = 32M. However, my wordpress media library states that the max size is 8 MB. All of my files are usually protected by s2member however, I am looking to post some general pictures and videos to my media library that all my different levels can see regardless of when they became a member. My developer who no longer works with me thinks there is an override setting in s2member that has set my upload file size to 8MB, however, I can’t find where that would be.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I thought this would be an easy fix but so far I have 3 people stumped.
Thanks

There is no such setting in s2Member.

A quick Google found this: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/

Thanks for the info.

I have tried to make changes by both the php.ini method as well as the .htaccess method and neither work. Either the size stays the same or my site gets wacky by adding the code to the .htaccess file.

As it says:

Again, it is important that we emphasize that if you are on a shared
hosting package, then these techniques may not work. In that case, you
would have to contact your web hosting provider to increase the limit for you.
