   I can't upload files over 2mb still, even though I've tried both "solutions" that were offered on wordpress and other forums..

   I have the folder permissions set to 777, it's called Uploads.

   In my php.ini file I have:
   upload_max_filesize = 10M

   But when using the flash uploader it says:
   This file is too big. Your php.ini upload_max_filesize is 2M. (HOW DARE IT LIE!)

   And the settings have been like that for months so it's not a cache thing, I guess I've only noticed this problem now since I am finally trying to upload a file over 2mb through the upload form. It's a zip file and I have the latest version of wordpress installed, I get an error while using the browser uploader as well "Error saving media attachment.".

   Any solutions at all? I don't see happy endings to any of these types of threads, someone please make me happy.

   Oh and please no smart responses saying to just use FTP.

   Did you re-start apache after upping this value? If php is running as a module it will require a restart for any changes to the php.ini file. Also, you may want to check the post_max_size value as well, since uploading "POSTs" files to the server.

   Yes the post_max_size is 20mb, There are no lines that even say "2mb"
   Also I don't know how to "Re-start" apache as I don't actually know what it is.

   Okay I did some research and it appears it may actually be a bluehost thing, these people have tried to restart apache and say it's not necessary and that there's a 2mb upload limit.

   But thank you, I will try finding an FTP plugin.
