Increase Upload Max Filesize

Uploading audio or video files can fail if your server has a low upload size limit (e.g. 4M). Here is a quick way to work around this without needing direct access to your server's php.ini file.

How to Increase the Upload Limit

1. Create a new file named php.ini (the name and extension are important).

2. Open it with any text editor and paste the following:

upload_max_filesize = 40M
post_max_size = 40M

3. Save the file and upload it to your wp-admin folder via FTP.

Tested on 1&1 and Bluehost.

If this doesn't work, contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase the upload_max_filesize limit.
