 * Hi Marius,
 * While this error has nothing to do with the plugin itself, you can follow one
   of the following options:
    1. Install the plugin directly from your Dashboard
   and let WordPress to handle Download and Install 2. Install the plugin via FTP
   3. Change the following directives in php.ini
 * php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
    php_value post_max_size 200M php_value max_execution_time
   180 php_value max_input_time 180
 * The above values are just examples. Please change them according to your needs.
   
   You can also try to place the directives at the bottom of your .htaccess file.
 * Do not hesitate to contact me through [http://www.wpbruiser.com/contact](http://www.wpbruiser.com/contact)
   you still need any help with this.
 * Cheers,
    Mihai

 * Thank you Mihai for your great awesome support. The php.ini Problem is solved
   on my side. If someone wants any help on this subject here is how you can solve
   the php.ini problem on the hosting side. (i have solved with this).
 * 1) Create a txt file with this code:
 *     ```
       post_max_size = 32M
       upload_max_filesize = 32M
       max_execution_time = 300
       max_input_time = 60
       memory_limit = 128M
       ```
   
 * 2) Save as .ini = php.ini
    3) Upload the php.ini on your root folder cPanel /
   public/html
 * Windows Webhosting with PHP 5.4 the file name will be .user.ini on root
    Plesk.
   user.ini Website root Managed WordPress .user.ini /html All Other Web Hosting
   save as php5.ini on root
 * Remember, for the changes to take effect, you will need to wait about 30 minutes
   or more depending on your hosting. So don’t give up if your php.ini file still
   doesn’t work fast, you need to wait 30 minutes.
 * You dont know your hosting limitation on php? Here is the solution:
 * 1) Open one txt file
    2) Insert the code:
 * `<?php phpinfo(); ?>`
 * 3) Save the file as .ini = phpinfo.ini
    4) Upload the file on your root folder
   5) Open your website link at yourwebsite/phpinfo 6) After this take the info,
   and delete the phpinfo.ini from your root folder.

 * Hi everybody,
    The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in
   php.ini I faced the same issue and successfully resolved it. I thought of helping
   others with the same problem. So I have made a video of what I did to solve this
   issue. Video Link- [How to resolve the issue of “Upload_Max_filesize directory in php.ini”](https://goo.gl/BbHmrK)
