 * When trying to install, it says:
 * The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
 * Any suggestions?

 * Access your files either through ftp or your control panel (cp)from your web 
   host.
 * find your php.ini file on your server.
 * open with a text editor and add the code below.
    be sure to save in UTF-8 format.
 * code-
 * memory_limit = 100M
    upload_max_filesize = 192M post_max_size = 100M file_uploads
   = On
 * ****note:
    this problem has been posted all over and answered time and again.
   however I was not able to make it work until now and wanted to add a couple of
   things I discovered.
 * the file was supposed in to be located in the wp-admin file and mine was not.
   So they suggested you create your own using a text file. It still didn’t work,
   and I tried a few different versions of the code including the set above and 
   it wouldn’t work.
    So I did a search for the file name php.ini and got a few 
   results. One by one I changed them until finally it worked. But the correct file
   WAS NOT in the wp-admin folder. So if it’s not working for you, do the search
   and alter the existing file.
 * hope this helps

 * Hello there,
 * If you do not want to mess with php configuration files, you could just FTP into
   your web server, locate your WordPress Install folder and then to wp-content/
   plugins and place the folder with our plugin in there (after you have extracted
   it).
 * After doing that, if you go to your Dashboard -> Plugins, you should be able 
   to see ours and activate you.
 * Let me know if you need anymore help with this.
 * Best Regards.
