When trying to upload files larger than 40mb the upload stops at 49% and this message appears:
“Unexpected response from the server. The file may have been uploaded successfully. Please check the media library or reload the page.”

This behavior started a week ago. The plugin worked without problems for about 4 months. Now I can only upload files smaller than 40mb.

When I switch from the WordPress multi-select file uploader to the browser’s own uploader the message I get is this:
“Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access this resource.”

I have cheked file permissions : folders to 755 and files to 644

I have cheked the hosting disk space and there is free space

I have increased php max_execution_time, max_input_time, max_input_vars, memory_limit, post_max_size, and upload_max_filesize at maximum posible.

I have uninstalled the plugin

There must be somthing else…

Please help

Fatal error happens now and then, usually after a (any) plugin is updated :

Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function is_user_logged_in() in ***/plugins/tuxedo-big-file-uploads/tuxedo_big_file_uploads.php:841

Hello! I need to store the files on a server different than the webserver.
Is it possible?

Hello!

My homepage needs a privacy policy and I need to know if all plugins comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation. Do you know whether Big File Uploads transmits user data to third parties or is GDPR compliant?

Best regards ??

Good morning,

Thank you for the great plugin. I have a quick question, when we enable this plugin, our custom hook wp_handle_upload_prefilter never fires.

Could you please advise how we can get wp_handle_upload_prefilter working?

Thanks,
S.

Hello,

I’m trying to run some custom functionality after the upload has finished. It would be cool if a custom action hook fired after all the chunks have uploaded and the attachment ID has been created. Currently, what I’m doing is:

add_filter( 'wp_prepare_attachment_for_js' function( $response ) {
	$chunk  = isset( $_REQUEST['chunk'] ) ? intval( $_REQUEST['chunk'] ) : 0;
	$chunks = isset( $_REQUEST['chunks'] ) ? intval( $_REQUEST['chunks'] ) : 0;
	if( ! $chunks || $chunk !== $chunks - 1 ) {
		return $response;
	}
	
	/* Custom functionality. */
} );

If there’s a better hook to run once the uploader has finished, please let me know!

Hello, the plugin uploads 1 MB images as a minimum. I would like to allow file uploads of less than MB. How can I do this with your plugin?

Hi,
I change the upload folder from my own plugin based on the content type to which the image is being attached. I use wp_handle_upload_prefilter and upload_dir hooks to run my code that modifies the array containing the paths.

With the newest (2.1.1) Big File Uploads version wp_handle_upload_prefilter is not fired. What has changed? How can I create the the same functionality in the new version? I went back to 2.0.3, and it works.

Regards,

This plugin interferes with WP PDF Embedder in the Gutenberg editor and causes that plugin to show “Your site doesn’t include support for the PDF Embedder block”.

I identified the cause to be a JavaScript variable defined on the first line of assets/js/block-notice.js, while the other plugin also defines var __ = wp.i18n.__. Since both plugins define this variable only for internal use, putting the definition at JS file level causes a global namespace pollution.

One possible solution is to wrap the whole script inside a self-executing function, or better yet, since it’s only used once, remove the variable definition and use the full namespaced path (i.e. wp.i18n.__(...)).

I have already contacted the developers of the other plugin, but it would certainly be nice if this can be fixed on both sides. Namespace pollution is known as a bad practice and makes plugins susceptible to conflicts.

Hello,

I recently downloaded the Big File Uploads plugin and set the file size limit to 35 GB. However, every time I try to upload something larger than the previous 2 MB limit, I receive the following error:

BAPI_Catalog_2022_Full_Web.pdf
Unexpected response from the server. The file may have been uploaded successfully. Check in the Media Library or reload the page.

Any advice on how to fix the issue?

Thank you.

Unable to upload anything with a site hosted on Pantheon. Client has contacted Pantheon about it, who came back stating it was an issue with the bfu_temp path that is set by this plugin.

Pantheon only allows uploads to the wp-content/uploads directory, however, the BFU temp path is located in wp-content/bfu-temp.

First, thank you for the great plugin. This is very useful when using some limited upload file size server such as shared hosting.

My question is that is it possible to limit the I/O speed? For most shared hosting. They not only limit the upload file size but also the I/O like 4mb/s. Although using your plugin can chuck the file and exceed the file size limit but the I/O limit will be hit and triggered some server resource limiting system.

If you plugin could set an I/O limit, for example, 1mb/s when uploading file. This would be perfect.

Thank you again for your great plugin.

Hi, I may miss something but the plugin doesn’t seems to be active for non-admin users. Did I need to setup something for it to works for all users?

I am uploading files for (in a zipfile). The file size is 4934 KB.

I get the error message (please see link above)

When I use BIG FILE UPLOADS plugin, I can upload anything. It is great! But it seems to corrupt my site. It makes the whole site accessible to anyone.

Can anyone suggest a better plugin?

A big thank you to @andtrev for his time developing and supporting Big File Uploads.

Enjoy!

Tuxedo Big File Uploads plugin will be compatible with Polylang Pro image duplication feature if you change plupload_params action from tux_big_file_uploads to customize_save.

Polylang has support only for 'upload-attachment', 'customize_save' actions.

When I upload something, the finished upload has an added “-1” behind the filename and the link seems broken.

When I look in my uploads folder using FTP I find two files:

video.mp4
video-1.mp4

The second one is a couple kb big and corrupted, the first is fully uploaded and working.

In the WordPress Media Library, only the second video is visible.

Does someone knows if adjusting the chunk size or retries setting will help with this?

Hello,
Before Updating my wordpress to the latest one which is version 5.6.1, I need to know is your latest version of Tuxedo Big File Uploads (1.2) compatible with it?

Would be great if this worked with larger plugins too.

Hi,
I installed your plugin but the maximum file size for upload is 0 B what is the problem exactly and how to fix it?

Thanks

I need to update the php version of my site, but I don’t know if this plugin is compatible.

Is this plugin compatible with php 7.3?

I’m currently running the latest version of wordpress 5.5 and i need your plugin to poke in a file higher than the default size, your plugin seems to solve the issue but it is found that your plugin is tested only upto 5.2 so it would be a great help if the testing is issued with the latest WordPress update. We are also planning to have a tutorial over your plugin. Kindly help us out

Hello!

What can cause the upload to goes to 99% and then again start from 1.

Chunk Size (kb) 3000
Max Retries 6
Maximum Upload Size (MB) 3500

Memory limit 1go

How can I find what causes of this problem?

Thank you

Thank you for you support.

Hi,
Does this plugin work with Gravity Forms?

Hi there,

This looks like a great plugin. I need it to allow my users to upload audio files but I have one question: is it possible to direct where the files are uploaded to? I was previously using Uploadcare which was fine to a point, in that it the uploaded files went to their cloud server where I then downloaded them to use on my site. Is there some way I can specify Tuxedo to upload the files to some storage other than my website? Like dropbox or Google cloud storage – anywhere would work for me to be honest. It’s just that if I have many files going direct to my WP media library it will quickly become bogged down!

Thanks for your help

I’m interested in developing a feature for this plugin, for a client, that would allow them to exclude certain types of users (admin in this case) from being affected by the Maximum Upload Size.

First: This plugin is specially amazing! Solve a big problem to devs with a CDN (like cloudflare) because the upload limit is a head pain.

In my case, I’ve try this plugin in a website with all structures in latest version (WP, plugins, PHP and related) but, I have another plugin to make a sync of my uploads to a DigitalOcean Space and, with this plugin active, the uploaded media is duplicated and broken.

Can you see the interaction with this plugin and make me any help?

With Tuxedo activated, even though I’m seeing “Maximum upload file size: 363 TB”, I’m getting the “exceeds the maximum upload size for this site” message no matter how small the file is. (I even tried a 13KB jpeg and a 3KB zip file.)

Thank you.
