File uploads, but doesn’t show

Hi – having the same issue… still cannot resolve ??

I was having trouble uploading my largest files, and the difficulty was in my php settings (upload_max_filesize), where I exceeded the file size limit. I could confirm from cpanel that the files were not actually uploaded though, so your case may be different.

Can you retrieve the file by putting its path directly in your browser’s address bar? (If so, please ignore this clue).

I can upload to the media gallery – 1GB limit, but not with Filr – I don’t have a PHP.ini file on the root directory. Filr would not upload though. No error message either that I exceeded file limit.

good news. It works now – It looks like I had to register the plugin 1st (from within the plugin)….

case closed

you had to register the plugin from within the plugin?
I’m using the pro version (trial license) that is “activated” – however STILL having the issue.

Hey @home4sap,

could you tell us what you did exactly?
There is no limitation within the upload size for the free version, so there shouldn’t any restriction other than these server values:

– max_upload_size
– file_uploads
– post_max_size
– max_file_uploads
– memory_limit

I will add a couple of them to the status overview within the next update, to troubleshoot that a bit easier.

But an activation/registration should not be required.

Hopefully also an indicator of your problem @vincewaters

Best regards,
Patrick

I am not really sure what happened, probably a coincidence:

a) After install, I tried to upload, to no avail
b) there was no PHP.INI file on the server, so I added one just with the upload statements

enable_functions = exec
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
; https://php.net/file-uploads
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
; https://php.net/upload-tmp-dir
;upload_tmp_dir =

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
; https://php.net/upload-max-filesize
upload_max_filesize = 256M

; Maximum number of files that can be uploaded via a single request
max_file_uploads = 20

c) I tried to upload again, to no avail
d) I uploaded the file via WP media option – worked fine (2gb limit)
e) I tried to upload with Filr again, to no avail
I gave up the whole thing and later in the evening, I confirmed the e-mail for registration
f) I tried again to upload after confirmation and the file was uploaded.

Now, I have another site and I tried the same steps and failed on d) – Max upload size 2mb. I went to CPANEL and updated the PHP.ini files via MultiPHP INI Editor

That did the trick… still not sure what happened with the 1st site; probably the php.ini configuration took effect with a delay? Cache issue? In any event, I am sure that the PHP.INI file needs to be updated accordingly.

@home4sap @patrickposner —

I have tried updating php.ini with the recommended values, gave my server enough time to update the changes, and those changes were confirmed through the typical Media Library uploader (max file size went from 2M to 128M as I set it…). However, unfortunately I am still having the same issues :*(

I’m wondering if, in my particular case, this has something to do with using MAMP as my (temporary) web server… ?

@patrickposner Ok so very interesting find:

I just deactivated the “Pro” version of the plugin and activated the limited edition version – uploaded a new file and it DID appear in the library list this time. However, the file itself still did not actually upload to my uploads dir on the server, and when I click the download link for the file from the library list, the file tries to download but ultimately fails with a “No File Found” error message.
