    That’s set on your server.

    You need to change the php.ini and possibly web.config

    Ask your host to change it for you ??

    I came across a rather simple workaround for this the other day.

    1. Upload a small temporary file called (say) sample.mp3 through WordPress.

    2. Login to your site using FTP, navigate to the wp-content/uploads folder and locate the newly uploaded sample.mp3 file

    3. Upload the correct (large) sample.mp3 file to that same location

    Not tried this myself yet to see if it’s as easy as it sounds. Also trying to figure out if there’s any down side to it.

    Thank you both. Trying out WordPress on local machine, so I modified the PHP config file. Will restart computer to test if it works. Will post if attempt fail.

    Thanks again.

    Try this. Worked for my site
