 * The upload limit is actually set on the server by your hosts. WordPress just 
   picks that value up. Try asking your hosts about increasing your upload limit.
   Or have a look at [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-from-server/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-from-server/)

 * Hi,
 * Tried that plugin but messed up everyhing, had to ftp and manually delete the
   plugin.
 * I will take this up with the host then.
 * There is no other workaround for this? Uplaod a php.ini file also didn’t work:-)
 * Thank you

 * No – it has to be done via the host and every host is different. Some allow you
   to upload custom php.ini files but others don’t. So you really need to speak 
   to your hosts about this.
 * I’m curious as to why that plugin causes problems for you. It’s normally pretty
   good.
