Just a quick note to say that increasing the maximum file upload in php.ini won't bypass the built in maximum file upload size of 32 MB in the flash uploader.

Hiya,
I do love using the php_value stuff in the htaccess. Keeps me from having to check other places...
As Sue mentioned, the current WordPress flash uploader there is a max size of 32MB. I'm not sure if this is changing in wp 3.3 as they are massively updating the media uploader... that'd be worth looking into... but setting your max file size above 32MB won't do anything
thanks for everyone's advice. I don't know why I haven't been receiving email notifications when people reply to my tickets. Anyways, I will try implementing the suggestions above...
Hey masonjames, Im not sure what happened, but it is driving me nuts.... for some reason on a post I can not upload any images over 2 mb..... I did not change anything.... I tried network admin> network settings and then I have max upload file size set to 20480
also I tried to kick up the site upload space way up, and even unchecked it and when I try to add an image it tells me max image upload is still at 2 mb..... used to work great.
can you please tell me what I am missing, or a direct file I can edit,,,, please give me the full path minus my domain of course, to the file if it is a file I can edit...

Hiya Tony,
Is this happening across the board or just on one sub-site? If you go to Network>Sites>Settings check the "Site Upload Space Quota" and "Blog Upload Space". They should be blank by default which provides for no limit.
The individual upload limit is set network wide... are you running Supporter or the new Pro Sites plugin?
masonjames,
its across the board...
I only have 2 accounts on this set up at the moment. I already mentioned the same you are asking me to check... my actual path to checking this is Network Admin>Network Settings and I only have Site Upload Space and Max Upload File Size
Site Upload Space I now have set to default, with no check mark or MB amount
I have Max Upload File Size set to 50,000 KB
and still the max I can upload an image in postings is 2 mb
I have these same settings on another mu set up I have on the same server and I do not have this issue.
I am not running Supporter or Pro Sites plugin, only pay to blog.
Mark de Scande,
no, don't think so, since I am not having this issue on several other mu set ups I have on the server.
I tried editing the php.ini file on my own for this account and screwed things up a bit where I had to get help from the server techs.
They have confirmed to me that the setting for max file upload is now set to 20MB which is what I want.
I have even confirmed this on a couple other acounts I have MU set up on.
However 1 of my accounts is stuck on 2MB dispite the fact that it has the exact same settings as the other accounts. Even new accounts are reflecting only 2MB
My current settings under super admin are Site Upload Space to 50MB
Max file upload size is set to 20,480 kb which in my estimation is 20MB
however this does not resolve the max file upload size within a post when I try to add an image, It is stuck on 2MB
Can you or someone please provide me with some options to consider?
I just realized I mention accounts in different ways... I will clarify.
I have mu set up on several different domains that are working fine.
only one of my domains is stuck on 2MB
on the domain that is stuck, I have many blogs.... all the blogs on this domain are stuck on 2MB
even if I create a new blog, the reason I mention this is because I do have maximum blog space set at 50MB and I just wanted to point out that this setting is not the issue since it is affecting even new blogs with no content on it.

Gads Tony, so glad you got this sorted :) I couldn't think of anything else within WordPress that would cause this, so makes sense that it was a config file.
Mine was stuck on 8mb as well. I tried making the adjustment to the files I found and it ended up messing everything up, I finally settled for contacting my host and they made the adjustment for me. I think the reason they were ablt to do it for me is because it was an adjustment to the server... I have a dedicated server.
Figured it out. Thanks for the tip TonyV.
For my VPS, I need to use WHM to edit the php.ini file. The one setting that was overriding the Max Upload Size was "post_max_size" this was set to 8MB. For others in my situation, "post_max_size" is only visible in the "advanced" tab of the editor. Click advanced and you will see this setting, change it to your desired amount and BAM, it works.

Hi Dustin, go to Network Admin, "Settings > Network settings" and modify this field, http://screensnapr.com/e/tCGBEw.png

Hiya,
Thanks @riyaku for the speedy response :)

@Dustin Mattison also have a look at your server config PHP upload_max_filesize
Ps Also use define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');
I hope this helps
Lifetime Member — 23rd October 2011 (7 months ago) #
Also if you haven't php.ini access you can add this rule on .htaccess
Cheers,

@TonyV it sounds more like a server admin has set the php.ini upload_max_filesize
Well just my 2 cents :)

Where was the php.ini files tucked away? I am having the exact same issue, except i am stuck at 8MB.
I run a php info test and upload_max_filesize is set to 32MB. But my file uploaded will only allow 8MB. Any help is appreciated.
