Wordpress upload size increase

Question

I've tried to increase my upload size for wordpress in many ways. I tried doing it through my functions.php , through a php.ini file, through htaccess. No luck. When i try to upload a media file it says "Max upload size 1 MB". Latest i've tried was php.ini. I added this file to the wp-admin folder via FTP. It looks like follow:

upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 300

I even tried a plugin. And it stays at 1 MB. (this plugin worked on a previous website ). Now I feel like i've tried everything ive come to seek for help from the experts.

*** Important to know. Im using a multisite network.
