File upload size limit (again)

    I have searched the forum and still can’t find an answer that works.

    I have a fresh install of WordPress 3.0.4 on a VPS. I have changed the php.ini file to include this line:
    upload_max_filesize = 24M

    I have a page on my site that runs phpinfo() and it reports
    upload_max_filesize 24M (local) 24M (master).

    When I try to add a new file (either from the media library or post editor) it displays “Maximum upload file size: 8MB”.

    There HAS to be another setting someplace. But where? And how do I change it?

  • I am running WordPress 3.2.1 and the solution that fitztrev provided (modifying the htaccess file) worked for me. Thank you fitztrev!

    I don’t know that the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT supersedes PHP upload limits. If not, it would be necessary to set the limits in the php.ini (or supersede php.ini with .htaccess) as well. In the case of an update to php.ini, it may be necessary to restart the web server after the change. [BTW, there is only one php.ini that the web server reads on startup. You must modify the correct one, not make a new one elsewhere.]

    For a multi-user WordPress, WP limits may be set using the Dashboard: My Sites -> Network Admin -> Dashboard -> Settings -> Network Settings [scroll-down to the “Upload Settings” area]. AFAIK, this is still limited by PHP configuration, so both must be considered.

    The default limits are quite conservative
