This has been occurring for me today as well.

Jeremy,

Thanks for this and sorry to take so long to reply.

That seems to fix the issue.

For a collection of other reasons I decided to move servers where I no longer was forced into using SMTP so I did not go back an try 1.1.8

So I am not in a position to conclusively answer. If it would be of significant help I could try it out as I still have the old server set up, but it would be a few days before I could get to it.

I pass this on for info as I am not sure if this is the cause of the problem in the original post.

Over the last few weeks I have been trying this plugin out.

When I started the lat/long stuff worked fine, but then it stopped. I had a similar problem on an completely unrelated site I know that as of March 8 Google discontinued their V2 version of the map api. Although I now read it has been continued till September.

This plugin uses the V2 map api to geocode the address into a lat and long. For me when I modified the plugin geocode function to work as per the V3 api the geocoding bits now work again.

It is too early to say if everything else works, but I pass this on in case it helps.

Worth a go, but as I understand the way this works is the plupload JavaScript chops the files up into chunks on the client and uploads each chunk separately. Then there is php code on the server that puts these chunks back together to form the large file. It is this server side php code that on a quick look I could not find.

wp-includes/js/plupload

I have only had time to have a glance through the code, I have a moderate amount of php programming experience but not much working with WordPress. The project that prompted my original query is just ‘a when I get around to it one’ not for an active job. But I am guessing it will be more than just writing a plugin to change the plupload parameters to allow chunking, as there will be issues with testing the upload against the maximum allowable size value.

If yours is a video upload issue the other thing that the YouTube or similar services do is solve the need to upload different versions of the video, (mp4,ogv,webm) which if you want an html5 solution is a complexity that generally is beyond most normal users.

Just in case you do not know of this alternative. I have a client that is on shared hosting where we could not change the php.ini settings and we needed to upload larger files. (50-100Mb audio files) In that case we solved it by using VideoPress. There are extra costs of course, but it does allow the user to upload files directly from within WordPress.

When we did that job (12 months ago) I did also look at the CDN plugins but they seemed to all suffer the problem that the file had to be uploaded to the server that WordPress lived on before being copied across to the CDN which was no help as we were still stuck with the upload limit of the WordPress server.

I suspect they decided not to update the WPLUpload plugin when WordPress started using PLUpload in it’s core uploader.

I have not explored this but there will probably be a Flash uploader plugin that will work for you. I have not tried these as I did not want to use Flash.

The Omni Secure Files plugin uses PLUpload. But this has a much more specific application.

So sorry I’m not much help. I need to find some time to do some more digging on this.
