# Plugin did not work

 * I already read some of the threads here and tried implementing solutions given,
   but nothing worked for my case. Here’s what I tried:
 * 1. Added the following:
    php_value post_max_size “33M” php_value upload_max_filesize“
   32M”
 * to my site’s .htaccess
 * I guess I am one of the 10% out of the 90% who’s server does not support it?

 * Sorry about that. I just re-tested to confirm that this plugin does work up to
   WordPress 4.0. This means that it writes the rules to your `php5.ini` and/or 
   to your `php.ini`. However, some web hosts ignore these settings. Hostgator, 
   in the past, was responding well to these settings.
 * According to [this page at Hostgator](http://support.hostgator.com/articles/cpanel/php-settings-that-cannot-be-changed),
   your max limits are already high enough. That would mean that you don’t even 
   need this plugin.
 * Please go to “Tools -> Upload Max Filesize” to see your current status. What 
   does the current status show for your ‘upload_max_filesize’? It should be as 
   high as 64 (if you remove the lines which you added to your .htacess).
