 * Hi, hope you can help as this is now doing my head in.
 * I am trying to upload an image which is about 190K in size and getting an error
   Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 31457280 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   12032 bytes)
 * I have edited the php file, edited my wp_config file, edited the media.php file
   and wherever else it says 🙁 if I put it in my .htacces file it crashes my site.
 * I have phoned 1 and 1 my hosting provider and they have said I have to put a 
   php.ini in every single folder on my website is this right??
 * Please help
 * Cheers
 * Dave

 * It varies from host to host. If that’s what 1&1 say, then it must be so on their
   servers.

 * Dave,
 * The php.ini file is not recursive, however if you add this to your .htaccess 
   file:
 * **suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/public_html** (the path to your root directory)
 * That will apply your local php.ini settings to all folders (assuming 1and1 has
   suPHP on their servers).
 * Which php.ini settings are you modifying and what are you modifying it to?

 * I dont mean to hostbash, but 1and1 sucks. I use certifiedhosting and they seem
   to me to have their servers configured pretty well, i see problems like yours
   and even more ridiculous ones all the time and im happy to say I never have those
   problems. id switch to another host while you still can

 * Cheers for all the message, if I change it in .htaccess file my website stops
   working but I think I have now solved the problem.
 * It seemed to be if the photo was above 1920×1024 resolution it wouldn’t upload
   no matter what physical size of the photo was. Its a bit steange but when I used
   gimp to size the photo down, it uploaded no problems 🙂
 * Thanks again for all the replies 🙂
