    Hi Trevor,

    I tried this on my localserver (usbwebserver – portable), where the file upload limit is only 2MB. Changing the server’s ini file does not work, since any changes you make, get resetted immediately – very strange!

    Anyway, I’m getting this error message, and yes I’m using the multi-file uploader, and tried the browser uploader too.

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function finfo_open() in N:\_Theme Development Servers\Other Themes 8.6\root\siteorigin2\wp-content\plugins\tuxedo-big-file-uploads\tux_handle_upload.php on line 31

    Thanks as always,
    Nick.

    Hi Nick,

    Looks like the file info extension isn’t installed or enabled on that system. I’ve created a fallback for it that will hopefully work for you. Give version 1.0.1 a spin and let me know.

    Thanks,
    Trevor

    Nick,

    I actually don’t think this will solve the issue you’re having, I believe you’re running on Windows (my fallback would be linux only) which requires a little more setup for file info than other systems.

    From https://www.php.net/manual/en/fileinfo.installation.php “Windows users must include the bundled php_fileinfo.dll DLL file in php.ini to enable this extension.”

    Maybe this isn’t doable as you say the ini file gets immediately overwritten to defaults. Have you tried overriding the ini values in .htaccess or maybe wp-config.php? https://www.sitepoint.com/how-to-override-php-configuration-settings/

    Yes, I have tried everything I could imagine. It’s not a big deal, as it’s my localserver only. My actual WP live sites are on linux anyways, so I can try there over the weekend, and make sure then to give you 5 star rating.

    Thanks again Trevor.
