    I keep getting this message when attempting to upload any media file.

    20160103_144457.jpg exceeds the maximum upload size for this site.

    It says that 2mb is the maximum for this site but I have uploaded much larger ones previously. I have made no changes. I get the same message for files smaller than 1 mb.

    The maximum upload size is controlled at the server-level, not by WordPress. Here are three ways you can increase the upload limit:

    1. If you can edit or override the system php.ini file, increase the maximum file and post sizes. For example, upload_max_filesize = 100M ; and post_max_size = 100M ;

    2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini file, add php_value upload_max_filesize 100M and php_value post_max_size = 100M to your .htaccess file.

    3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to increase the maximum file and post sizes on your account. Keep in mind that most decent hosting providers allow this, and If your hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting provider.

    (in the above examples, the limit is set to 100MB)

    Thank you James. I have no idea how to do what you suggested. ?? I have had the blog for a year and have not had this problem. I am trying to get to bluehost. Thanks again.
