Title: Please select a file error Last modified: September 17, 2016 --- # Please select a file error * Resolved [Venutius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/venutius/) * (@venutius) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-select-a-file-error/) * I think something has broken with this plugin. * When it is installed I can no longer upload plugins. I select the file, the progress bar moves to completion but then I get a whitescreen with the message “Please select a file” * This is on a brand new install with only this plugin active, if I deactivate it I can upload a plugin without a problem.

It seems that something has changed between WP 4.6 and 4.6.1. Argh. Working on it now! * Plugin Author [David Anderson / Team Updraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidanderson/) * (@davidanderson) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-select-a-file-error/#post-8194384) * Now fixed in release 1.4.1. Please give a 5-star review if you find the plugin useful!

Do you have any other sites you can test it on? Does it happen on all of them, or only some? * David * [inonews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/inonews/) * (@inonews) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-select-a-file-error/#post-8376341) * One other as well. Wait though, I will disable all other plugins and try. Maybe security is stopping it. * [inonews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/inonews/) * (@inonews) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-select-a-file-error/#post-8376397) * Same.

Is it an error that the file is too big, or something else? I’m suspecting that your site has a problem unrelated to the size of the plugin, and that both methods hit that problem. * David * [inonews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/inonews/) * (@inonews) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-select-a-file-error/#post-8377665) * I get the message Exceeds max size in php.ini. 2Mb * I uploaded it via the server and unzipped it and no problem. Just it is of course less hassle to do it within WP.
