 * I am using WordPress on Names.co.uk servers
 * My maximum upload file size is 1MB
 * I have asked my host and they say their upload max is 128MB and have shown me
   the phpinfo file which states the same.
 * Then I tried using a plugin which also confirmed my settings are set to 128MB
 * But still the upload new media screen says 1MB
 * Can anyone help please? I am running Catch Kathmandu Pro but it is the same with
   twentyfourteen theme. My site is setup as a multisite.

 * The maximum upload size is controlled at the server-level, not by WordPress. 
   Here are two 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 = 128M ;` and `post_max_size
   = 128M ;`
 * 2. If you cannot edit or override the system `php.ini` file, add `php_value upload_max_filesize
   128M` and `php_value post_max_size = 128M` to your `.htaccess` file.
 * (in the above examples, the limit is set to 128MB)
 * Make sure that one of those two methods has been done in its entirety.

 * Thanks for your help James. Both those things were already in place.
 * However, I did manage to solve the problem within WordPress. In the Multisite
   settings page there was a maximum file size set to 1500KB. I have changed this
   and it works fine now.
 * Thanks again

 * You’re welcome!
 * Next time, make sure you post in the Multisite forum. 😉
