 * Hi,
 * I am having an issue changing the file upload maxsize. I have specified in my
   shortcode
 * [fileup sub=”cox-commission/coxcommission2001″ makedir=”true” matchdrawer=”true”
   maxsize=”40″ maxsizetype=”m” showto=”administrator, editor, author, contributor”
   iconcolor=”blue”]
 * [fileaway type=”list” align=”left” sub=”cox-commission/coxcommission2001″  paginate
   =”true” directories=”true” pagesize=”25″ mod=”no” manager=”on” drawerid=”true”
   size=”no” dirman_access=”administrator,contributor” filenamelabel=”Description”
   customdata=”Keywords” metadata=”database” textalign=”left]
 * File Away is showing the info:
    post_max_size: 48M upload_max_filesize: 32M
 * I created a php.ini to modify the max size using:
    file_uploads = On post_max_size
   = 50M upload_max_filesize = 80M
 * Which is what Godaddy sent me as the code to add to a php.ini file. I could not
   find one in the site so I created it. I also uploaded it to the uploads and admin
   directories as I was not seeing the change when uploaded to the root, however,
   it is still not allowing a larger file size upload.
 * Is there something I am missing or something else I should be doing to increase
   the upload size?
 * Thank you very much for your help and any suggestions you may have.

 * You’ll have to get help from your webhost on this. Either you didn’t create it
   correctly, or you have another php.ini somewhere that is in conflict with the
   one you created, or you created it in the wrong location.

 * Ok. Do you know where the ini file should reside?
 * Thank you for following up!!

 * It really depends on your setup, which I’m not privy to. I’ve seen some setups
   with a php.ini that will configure the WP backend, but won’t affect the front-
   end, so you gotta find where to put it. Or where the original one is located 
   if it already exists. Godaddy should provide support for this.

 * Hi Thom,
 * I talked to a knowledgable tech at Godaddy and was advised I had an older version
   of PHP which was why the php.ini did not work. I upgraded the PHP to 5.6 and 
   then used the cPanel settings to change the maxsize and max execution time.
 * The previous tech had instructed me to use a php.ini with maxsize which did not
   work.
 * Thank you for your help.
