    I have tried all the fixes, going into the php.ini and changing it, creating an ini with the values in the wp-admin folder, even downloaded a plugin that supposed to do it and nothing has changed and it doesn’t work. Still stuck an 2mb uploads.

    I have this running off my comp, local host. I could really use some help to figure this damn thing out. spend 5 hrs i guess trying everything to get it to work and also shrinking my pics but they wont get small enough or rejected because of a diff format.

    help me please ??

    creating an ini with the values in the wp-admin folder

    Have you tried placing your php.ini in the main WordPress installation folder (in the directory that has your wp-config.php file? If that doesn’t work, try renaming php.ini to .user.ini and see if that makes a difference.

    What are you using for your local server?

    @grimshadow99 –

    The 2MB limit would lead me to believe you are using XAMPP as your local server as that is what it’s default value is set to.

    To change it:

    – open the XAMPP Control Panel and stop Apache if it is running
    – click the Config button for Apache and select PHP (php.ini)
    – this will open the current php.ini in Notepad
    – perform a Find for upload_max_filesize
    – change the value from 2M to 20M (or whatever you like) and Save
    – restart Apache

    I always like to change the post_max_size to match as well.

    Cheers!
