• I want to add an mp3 file to wadeswire.org, a wordpress.org blog. I installed the VideoPress plugin but it says I need a wordpress.com account. I created one but don’t know what to do next.
    Thanks,
    Wade

    MP3 is an audio file, not a video file, so you don’t need VideoPress (you actually don’t need VideoPress for videos either).

    You can upload an MP3 file and add it to your post just like you do an image. When writing or editing a post, hit the Add Media button, upload the file, choose the “Embed or Link” style you want from the drop-down menu, and hit “Insert into Post.”

    Thanks, but it’s 89mb, too large for my 7mb limit. What are my options? Thanks.

    Ah, ok then. 🙂

    The maximum upload size is controlled at the server-level, not by WordPress. Here are three ways you can increase the upload limit:

    1. Increase the setting values in php.ini (e.g. upload_max_filesize = 100M ; and post_max_size = 100M ; ). Many hosts may not allow this.

    2. Increase the setting values via .htaccess (e.g. php_value upload_max_filesize 100M and php_value post_max_size = 100M ). Many hosts may not allow this.

    3. Ask your hosting provider to do it for you.

    (in the above examples, the limit is set to 100MB)
