How do you increase the PHP time limit?
To protect web servers from abuse, a time limit is set for how long a PHP script can be executed. The actual time limit varies by hosting company, but usually the maximum execution time is set between 30 and 60 seconds.
When a script reaches the maximum execution time limit, it results in a maximum execution time exceeded error. There are a number of ways to resolve this error:
Method 1 - edit file wp-config.php
Add the code below to the file wp-config.php:
set_time_limit(300);
Method 2 - edit file .htaccess
Add the code below to the file .htaccess:
php_value max_execution_time 300
Method 3 - edit php.ini
Add the code below to php.ini:
max_execution_time = 300
