 * How much size of files you are uploading? Its problem with php.ini file in your
   server. The max file upload is depends upon the Hosting Provider. Many Hosting
   providers have **5MB** (max upload). Can you tell me which Hosting you are using?

 * I just added this into my php.ini and it seemed to do the trick
 * max_execution_time = 60;
 * memory_limit = 512M;
 * upload_max_filesize = 512M;
 * post_max_size = 512M;

 * It was a pretty simple fix I just cut and pasted the lines into the php.ini file
   and saved it.
 * Now as for other WP issues that have come up and no help from the community I
   have a site sitting dead in the water. But that is a story for another day.
