“Add Video” says file size is too big, when it’s not, 2.5

I’m having the same problem. Trying to upload a 9MB file and my max_filesize is 20MB. What gives?

upload_max_filesize is not the only thing controlling the filesize you can upload. What is the post_max_size set to?

Unfortunately, that error message only shows the upload_max_filesize, not the post_max_size as well.

Ok, I think I fixed this. I modified the following fields in my php.ini file and made sure I moved a copy of the file to the /wp-admin/ directory.

post_max_size = 20M
memory_limit = 20M
upload_max_filesize = 20M

File uploaded without a hitch.

Where do you put the php.ini file?

In the level under /public_html/ it seems ??
