Fix for me (using WordPress multisite) was to go to Network Admin>Settings & see File upload size & edit (I put it to 15000KB). Also make sure filetype is included in list of allowable upload file types (setting on the same page-just add type eg mp4 swf flv etc). My .mp4 video has now uploaded-yayyyy! Goodluck & best wishes all :-)
Unfortunately this fix doesn't work for me though-my WP max upload is set @ 1M
(& no change following your helpful instructions-why not I wonder?-I will keep trying...)
WordPress amazes me..so many features yet so many problems with them.
Why don't they give clear & easy help to do these things? WP are always bringing out new versions-it is time someone there @ WP made sure good help/instruction was available (& I have tried WP support forum & am not too impressed!). :-)
i did the exact same thing, and i dropped it to the wp-admin folder, i logged out and signed in again, and tried to upload something, but the max is still stuck at 2mb,
I tried this and copied it exactly but did not work - i still cant upload mp3s more than 8 meg - very frustrating when you have a music site !!! Any ideas what I can do?
Great instructional video, but I found it difficult to see the code, so I've copied it below for others to copy and then do a File Save As "php.ini" as the filename.
upload_max_filesize = 250M;
post_max_size = 250M
The 250M can be changed to anything you want it to be.
Jesus! How many blogs are there that just tell you to place the file in the root directory? Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about! It's funny how they a talk trash to the one's asking for help, when they are wrong themselves!
for us newbies it would have been good if you went all the way. you showed us what to do but not how to do it. Appreciate the help but how do i get it in the wp-admin folder??
Hey man - I have been trying to make an INI file on a mac using Text Edit, but it doesn't create the extension properly... and it has no option for making it INI. When I manually enter .INI this becomes part of the file name and it gives it another extension (such as .TXT). Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Great post btw - VERY useful (especially if I can get it to work).
