Ok I found where the problem is, its something to do with the theme. Its actually adding the upload feature within WordPress which limits it to 2M.

I will now tackle Photocrati, many thanks guys, have a good weekend

Thanks Chouby,

I do not know how to create a php file. If you could guide me through I would appreciate it.

Other than that in the phpadmin web interface that comes with MAMP it has a tab which displays phpInfo both max_file_size and max_post_size as being 32M

Does that help?

There are 3 x phpinfo files in separate directories
1 bin.mamp – has vertually nothing in it
2 bin/phpmyadmin – nothing that refers to max filesize
3 bin/sql/plugins – has virtually nothing in it

Thanks Ibullock,

The memory limit is also set to 3! I have restarted MAMP on every change.
MAMP is the Mac version of WAMP, it seems that WordPress or MAMP is not reading the php.ini file properly. The file has 32M for both max file size and max post size, I tried the .htaccess solution as I explained in the original post without succes, now I have taken the file .htaccess out.

At this stage I seem to have run into a dead end., any additional thoughts would be much appreciated. The photo upload size is still at stuck at 2M

No WordPress still has a measage to say that the filkesize limit is 2m. This is stipulated on the page before you upload the photo. I tried uploading a photo greater than 2M and it creates an error.

My original post gave the dir that he php.ini file is in MAMP and that it is set to 32M.

Tell me does wordpress display the new setting on the page before uploading?

I do not have an php.ini file in the etc directory, I have searched the whole computer and the only php.ini files are in the MAMP dir as specified in my original post.

Any Ideas?

Yes that is what I have read, however the only php.ini file that exists is located in the MAMP directory for SQL which is set to 32M, there is no php.ini file in the WordPress installation at all.

What dir do you believe the php.ini file that controls this parameter for WordPress belongs?

Thanks for your help so far you have been great,

Found the php.ini file in my MAC, looks like its not the problem, its set for 32M, seems like the file is being checked by WordPress before it has a chance to upload.

Sort of takes away the appeal of the Imsanity to a large degree, do you think the plug in will be able to overcome this issue in the future?

Yes that’s what I read on the internet however I do not have the php.ini file in the word press directory?

I created one and placed it in the root and in the admin directory however it had no effect.

Any ideas?

NO I am doing loccally (localhost) , Word press prevents me to upload the file due to the 2MB limit.

I haven’t got to the server yet ??

Sorry, I didn’t have any success with the php file, I am not that technical, I will have to leave it up to you, if you can overcome it with in the plugin that will be great, I will keep an eye out.

Thanks for the update, i have read that you are able to increase the size of the file to be uploaded by modifying the php.ini file, however my installation does not have a php.ini file either locally or on the server.

I tried to create the ini file and load it in the admin directory however it had no effect, my thought was to increase the limit and then Imsanity could right size the file.
