WebU2

Well, this was fixed by my Host service. They found the problem and now I can upload large files. I don’t know what the fix was and they are not sharing. They were so confident that the fix was made that they did not even allow me to confirm that I could now uploaded. They went ahead and closed the ticket. They were right, so they just might not have wanted me to let them know that after two weeks of telling them it must be on their end, they had to admit it was indeed theirs. All is well now. Thank you for the help.

I created a php.ini file and placed it in wp-admin folder. I used the information that was available on how to do this at

https://www.trickspanda.com/2014/01/increase-maximum-upload-file-size-limit-wordpress/

Tried that php.ini fix but it failed. The host has a security block on accessing the php directly. Here was the server log notice:
20140819T132850: https://www.webu2.com/wp-admin/tools.php
<b>Security Alert!</b> The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.

I did not find a wp-admin.php in my files to modify. But in the link you listed I found that I could disable all automatic updates by adding to the wp-config.php file:

define( ‘AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED’, true );

I went with that. Thank you.

Thank you, cubecolour. I will try that and watch on the next update whether it works or not. I will post the results.

Both sites have the same problem. Both sites have different theme and most plugins are different.
