I've been trying to increase the upload maximum file size from the default 1MB to 1GB as i will be posting lots of video content.

I've had a member of the Inmotion Hosting Technical team helping me with trying to make these changes but the changes on the server aren't being reflected on the site & you still can't upload any media file bigger than 1MB..... he therefore said it best to put the question out to the community and see if anyone has any other ideas / info on how to rectify this issue.

Below is a summary of what actions have been attempted:

I increased the upload_max_filesize to 1000M and ensured the changes were recursive in .htaccess file for all subdirectories. Also tried setting limit directly in wp-config.php:

define('WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1000M');
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1000M');

Ensured WordPress was up to date and the core files are good.

Please let me know If anyone has some idea of how to fix this issue!

Thanks
Matt

Hello Matt, Sorry to hear you are having issues with your max upload size in your WordPress. 1MB is much smaller than the default for WordPress, so someone or something would have changed that. I can see that you are set to 1GB in your php.ini and within the WordPress configuration file. Test it again to be sure it is still at 1MB. If that is true, there is something within the WordPress elsewhere that is setting that value, perhaps a plugin or other setup. You can try other common WordPress troubleshooting techniques such as disabling all your plugins to see if starts working properly. If so, then you know it is a plugin. Then re-enable them one at a time, testing after each one, to find out which one is the cause. I am not sure which site you have that is having the issue, as you have different WordPress sites on your account. Kindest Regards, Scott M
