WP Upload limit says 8MB, PHP limit is set 20. Why? (8 posts)

    My PHP memory limit is set to 40M with the maximum upload limit set to 20M. I don't have access to the php.ini file but I have been told this by my servers technical help, and I can see it after installing the TPC! System Overview plugin.

    However, the wordpress upload limit seems to be set to 8MB (this is what I get told when uploading any media, and if I upload anything bigger I get an error).

    Does anybody know why this might be?

    I'm running wordpress 3.1 oh php5.

    Shamefully bumping.

    Really stuck on getting this upload limit higher.

    If you must upload something larger ftp the file. Then if you want it in a post you can put the appropriate html code in there.

    Well, the ftp isn't an iption as this will be used by someone else not me and they won't be happy with ftp. I've tried all sorts of htaccess and wpconfig trickery but it doesn't work.

    The php upload limit seems to be set to 20M anyway. Which is why I don't understand why the wordpress limit is different.

    I've tried that and it doesnt work. As i've said i've been told and can see that the php upload max file size is already set to 20M.

    It's just wordpress seems to be thinking it's 8M and I can;t figure out why.

    Any more ideas? :)
