when adding larger image to media library, gives login instead of image

PS: I basically followed the directions in this thread to increase max upload file size: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/276318

Anychance you could post a picture (screenshot) of the actual error when it happens? Did you try asking GoDaddy about this?

I’ve had problems with php.ini files on godaddy….I basically have two files…. php.ini and php5.ini, both with the same content.

Maybe just coincidence, but since I did that, my upload limits have not bugged out

also, do you have a phpinfo file setup so you can check your php settings? Make sure everything is good?

<?php

phpinfo ();

?>

make a new file called whatever.php, drop that bit of code in it, then point your browser at it

Thank you for responding — I’ll try to recreate it, although my last few tries just got me the over 8M error message.

I had talked with one GoDaddy rep about a month ago who basically told me I was out of luck. He was pushing me to get a more expensive hosting plan.

I believe in the godaddy help section on their website…you can actually search for php.ini and they give you an example…..it’s where I learned how to change it.

I used deluxe linux shared for a couple years with no problem, with a 200M upload limit set in php.ini…..you will be fine once it works….

I’ve tried clearing the cache and restarting Firefox, but it’s just giving me the “This file is too big. The maximum upload size for your server is 8M.” message. Again.

Is it possible the GoDaddy is overriding my php5.ini at the top of the hour when they reset the servers or something?

Not that I’m aware of. I haven’t touched my php.ini or php5.ini files in over a year and my limits stick.

Did you actually make the php test file I suggested and check the info?

RVoodoo, I’ll add the php.ini file back, in addition to the php5.ini! Where did you put them? I have php5.ini in a main directory, in the directory for the WP site, and in that site’s wp-admin folder…. Overkill?

And how long does it usually take for the php.ini files to “take” with GoDaddy? I know the .htaccess files used to take 24 hours sometimes…

I put my php.ini and php5.ini in the main html directory…..I think I may have also dropped them into the actual WP directory……you won’t need them in the wp-admin folder

I will make the php test file in just a second — I hadn’t seen your file before my post went through…. hold on…. and thank you!!

memory_limit = 500M
post_max_size = 500M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 250M
upload_tmp_dir = /home/content/r/v/o/rvoodoo/html/tmp

just for comparison….
here is some of the stuff in my php.ini

if I recall…the spaces before and after the = are important….at least on godaddy….
(again…maybe not, and it was justa coincidence it worked for me just then)

I did the phpinfo file, and it says I have 200M file upload, etc. as in my php.ini files. This is my php.ini:

register_globals = off

allow_url_fopen = off

expose_php = Off

max_input_time = 60

variables_order = “EGPCS”

extension_dir = ./
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
precision = 12
SMTP =

relay-hosting.secureserver.net
url_rewriter.tags =

“a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset=”

[Zend]
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so

memory_limit = 200M
post_max_size = 200M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 200M

hmmm….then you’ve got your php.ini file set up correctly….I’m not at all sure why WP would be giving you grief…

I hope someone else can help ya now….

Thanks, RVoodoo! I appreciate your help!

Anyone else? Please! ??
