    Hi guys,

    My client is currently using the wordpressblog on wordpress.com. She has a lot of images, and also very large images (15mb and up). Now im creating a new self-hosted wordpress website, but when i want to import her blogs and images to the self-hosted wordpress it only shows a few images.

    What i already did with no success:
    – Import the blogs per month, to have it less heavy
    – Tried the plugin: Import external attachments

    Can you please help me out?

    Edit: There are no plugins on the wordpress.com version as there are on the self-hosted to scale the filesize, right?

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

    1. If you can edit or override the system php.ini file, increase the maximum file and post sizes. For example, upload_max_filesize = 100M ; and post_max_size = 100M ;

    2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini file, add php_value upload_max_filesize 100M and php_value post_max_size = 100M to your .htaccess file.

    3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to increase the maximum file and post sizes on your account. Keep in mind that most decent hosting providers allow this, and If your hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting provider.

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