WP PHP maximum execution time or PHP time limit is the amount of time in seconds that a website will spend on a single operation before timing out. This time is useful to avoid any potential server lockup. The default PHP time limit for WordPress is 40 seconds. When a certain operation reaches this execution time limit, the system will return the ‘Maximum execution time of X seconds exceeded‘ fatal error. 40 seconds may not be enough to install a complete demo for a theme or big plugin, thus it will be prudent to increase it so that your website can successfully complete the operation.
The recommended WordPress maximum execution time is 300 seconds.
a. wp-config.php
b. functions.php
c. php.ini
Note:
Many shared hosting providers restrict you from accessing the php.ini file. This method is only applicable in case you have direct access to your php.ini file or if you are running your WordPress on a local host.
d. .htaccess
