1and1 keeps telling me that I may be going beyond the allowable memory usage on their side.

The maximum they allow is 60M.

How can I check if Im exceeding that?

Ok, now this is very strange. The problem seems to have returned this morning.

I didnt change anything from last night, so I really have no idea what could be different today, or why the issue would return.

I emailed 1and1 to see if they can shed some light on this.

Ok, great! It appears this is working now, and I can even upload multiple files at a time.

I created a php.ini file and put it under wp-admin folder with that snippet of code you have above.

However, I still have a little bit of an editing problem where it wont rotate the image in the media editor. However, if I scale down the image to ~1200×900 or so, it then rotates and edits just fine. I can live with that. c’est la vie!

Also, thanks for that security tip ??

Yes, they said: “Please do check your plug ins if does not need 10 MB of PHP memory limit , and if it requires PHP directives be enabled you may do it using a php.ini file. Below is the link for more information about configuring your PHP directives:

I’m not sure exactly what that means, but Im looking into it. I’ve checked the .php memory limit by putting a phpinfo file in my directory, but I’m not exactly sure where to look to get the right information. It seems like its saying 90M, which should be enough, but Im not sure thats what its actually set to.

I’m just uploading one at a time.

The file sizes are approximately 1MB.

Optimized the files for web? No, Im not sure what this would involve. Re-saving them as a smaller size? I’d prefer not to do this, and besides, the file Im uploading doesnt seem that huge anyways.

No special signs in the file names. They are literally just downloaded off the camera. I tried changing the filename then re-uploading and it still didnt work.

file type is JPG File (.JPG)

Im using the default WP gallery. No plugins, Ive disabled them all. I tried using an alternative flash plugin to upload, but it had the exact same problem so i got rid of it.
