Increase file max upload limit

  • Hi. I’m using free hosting from 000Webhost and am trying to increase the file upload size so I can upload my videos to my WP theme. I edited the relevant file in my WP directory and also tried uploading the video file via ftp but neither has worked. The file upload size has indeed increased from 5mb to around 20mb (I think i set the max upload size in the code to 64mb), but I still cant upload my 30mb+ videos.

    Does anyone have any suggestions of other ways I can troubleshoot this?

    many thanks

    Freehosting is worth every penny you paid for it. Please contact your host as, IIRC, you can’t push any limits on that hosting plan.

    Hello @joshjj,

    Try this in an .htaccess file:

    php_value post_max_size 50M
    php_value upload_max_filesize 50M

    Note: 5M can be changed to any variable.

    If above does not help, you might need to approach hosting as suggested by @sterndata

    Thanks.

    Being a free host they probably have hard limits on upload size which you can’t bypass, you have the following options:

    1. Change host
    2. Use a free video hosting site like youtube or vimeo and embed videos
    3. Resize your videos
