Max. Upload File SIze Ignored by WP Media Library

  • I got a very strange Problem on a WordPress MU site. I edited php.ini settings to accept max filesize 200M. worked all fine on plugin FileManager. But in media library, i get a 1MB upload limit, no matter how high i adjust the values in php.ini.

    phpinfo tells me: 200MB – but WP with all plugins disabled giving me 1MB in media library. Tried the same settings in functions.php and .htacces. No change. I don’t have any special entries in wp-config.php.

    My Php.ini looks like:

    [PHP]

  • I have the same problem, WordPress 3.6, Ubuntu Linux…I changed my server to 64MB and phpinfo also shows it working….but WP Media Manager still refuses to go over 8MB….once I added in 

    php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
php_value post_max_size 64M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300

    to the htaccess file and…..

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

    to the wp-config file….its still only 14MB. This is ridiculous.

    This is a server issue – not a WordPress one.

    And greekdish, please post your own topic.

    hi esmi,

    agreed in the first place and greekdishs problem. checked everything: php ini, server setup, htaccess, @php ini settings in wp files. my hoster domainfactory agreed: everything is setup right and should result in a 200m upload max file size not only in file manager plugin, but also in media library. but it doesn’t. 200m is possible with my hoster, file manager acts as expected.
