   Can I change the upload size of the video or no? I have a shooto lesson for schooling broke down in 80 meg clips and was wondering if i could change the limit? If so where can I find that php.ini file? Thanks.

   Hi,

   To modify the limit of php.ini you have to contact your hosting service provider to change the max_upload limit to the desired limit. If it is not possible to modify from the server end then ask for the xustom php.ini for your domain. And set it for your domain.

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   Or try this code as a plugin. Copy it to a file in your plugins directory (something like php_adjustments.php) and the activate it in the Plugins section of the WordPress admin panel. Then try to upload a large file - who knows - it might work if your hosting company allows PHP settings to be overridden:

   <?php
   /*
   Plugin Name: PHP Settings
   Plugin URI: http://wpsecurity.net
   Description: Attempts to set the max upload size and script timeout settings in the server's PHP config
   Author: Mark - WPSecurity.net
   Version: 1.0
   Author URI: http://mpsecurity.net
   */
   ini_set('upload_max_size','100M');
   ini_set('post_max_size',105M');
   ini_set('max_execution_time,'300');
   ?>

   Open up a text editor - if you use Windows then open Notepad (Start->Run then enter Notepad and press enter). Copy that code into Notepad, save it as some file name that ends in .php

   Then upload it to your wp-content/plugins directory using a FTP client - then go activate it in WordPress and try to upload a file big file - something larger than 16MB.

   Sorry, there's a typo. This line:

   ini_set('post_max_size',105M');

   Should be this:

   ini_set('post_max_size','105M');
