 * Hello,
    When the Wordfence plugin is active the administrator is able to upload
   big files while the Contributor cann’t (This error: Internal Server Error.) If
   I disable the plugin both, Administrator and Contributor, works fine.
 * Does anyone have any insight as to what may have happened?
 * Thanks.

 * Hey [@twistardesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twistardesign/),
 * Is the **Disable Code Execution for Uploads directory** feature enabled?
 * Do you see any related entries on the Live Traffic page at the time of the upload
   attempts?
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald

 * Hey [@twistardesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twistardesign/),
 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’ve gone ahead and marked this
   thread as resolved.
 * Please feel free to open another thread if you’re still having issues with Wordfence.
 * Thanks,
