Increasing File Size for Audio Uploads

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/add-from-server/

esmi, that “Add From Server” plugin is great, however, that’s not quite what I was looking for. I already use my FTP to upload everything, but I’d like to get rid of that extra step / piece of software (an FTP) and have wordpress do the uploading.

It has to be possible to increase the maximum upload limit in wordpress ????

The upload file size is limited by your webhost but may be changed in some hosting plans. They have a forum.

who has a forum? I have Godaddy, do they allow that?

Ok I got it to work. it’s actually quite simple with GoDaddy. there are a few details you have to pay attention to though. Again, this is for people who have wordpress loaded on GoDaddy shared hosting.

1. first go ahead and create your .ini file (make sure you use a plain text editor that will not add unwanted returns and hidden symbols). all that needs to be in the file is:

memory_limit = 192M
post_max_size = 50M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 50M

This will let me upload files up to 50 Mb’s. The maximum limit is 192 Mb’s so don’t go over that.

2. save this file as “php5.ini” and put it up in your root directory.

3. the last thing you need to do (which was the reason it wasn’t working for me) is to change the permissions to executable (705). I did this by going into my FTP, opening the more info for my .ini file and setting the permissions to read write and execute. the end sequence should be 705.
