I recently launched CouplesCast.com, an podcast site focused on enriching the lives of marriages by talking. Wild idea, eh?
Anyway, I realized that (eventually) I’m going to need to upload files larger than the default 32MB. I read quite a few blogs about it like :
- https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-increase-media-upload-file-size-limit
- http://hints.steptoinstall.com/3-ways-increase-maximum-upload-limit-file-size-in-media-of-wordpress.html
- And even tried a video
…but some steps didn’t work and I, since I have several sites running on the server, several I didn’t want to try.
I found a plugin, but decided I didn’t want to add plugin overhead for something that SHOULD be simple…so, alas, I called GoDaddy support and found a solution worth noting.
Let me show you how:
1. Here is what WP shows by default on my server:
2. I ssh’d into the server and changed to the root directory of the wp installation
3. vim .user.ini (the leading period is important)
4. add the following lines:
file_uploads = On post_max_size = 128M upload_max_filesize = 128M
5. :wq (save)
6. I waited a couple of minutes; logged out and back in and now
Facil.
