Media uploaded filesize limit

    My media uploader seems to have developed an upload limit of 1Mb, which is inadequate for some of the files I need to upload.

    Not sure why/how this has come about; other WP installations on the same host have a default limit of 20Mb.

    Following some of the other threads on here, I have already tried the following:

    – added the following lines to the .htaccess file
    # increase file upload size
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
    php_value post_max_size 32M
    php_value upload_max_filesize 32M
    php_value memory_limit 500M
    </IfModule>

    – added the following files to the php.ini file:
    memory_limit=32M
    upload_max_filesize = 32M
    post_max_size = 32M
    max_execution_time = 300
    file_uploads = On

    Neither of these changes made any difference.

    Anybody got any ideas about why I have developed this tiny limit and what I can do to increase it? Thanks for any help!

    WordPress itself does not impose any upload limits. It simply uses the limits configured on the server. Try asking your hosts about this.

    Nope have checked with them – we did a phpinfo() and verified that the server settings allow a 20Mb upload. Something’s changing it in the WP configuration though.

    Not sure if it makes any difference, but it’s set up as a multi-site config – would that have an effect?

    Possibly. I seem to recall that the super admin can limit upload size on sub-sites. Try asking in the Multisite forum.

    OK I found it! It is a multisite newtork setting. On the Network Admin dashboard there’s a tab for ‘Network Settings’ which includes ‘Upload Settings’, and under that ‘Max Upload Filesize’.

    Upping this figure has increased the upload limit in the sub-site.

    Thanks esmi for the help! 🙂
