# [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] filesize limitations?

 * I love the plugin, which i have installed here as a private gallery called “OTHER”.
   [http://mowlalaw.com](http://mowlalaw.com) When I try to upload multiple images
   though they do not appear. My developer tells me:
 * “Will never work if you select all pictures and Upload them. Why? Because the
   bigger image has a resolution of 2800×2100 and is too big. If you want to work
   you can resize the photos on a smaller resolution and then you can upload all.
   I attach a screen to see where the resolution of the image is visible.
 * the idea is to not upload all of pictures once you must upload them one by one.”
 * Is this true? is there a file size limitation? If so what is it? It seems insane
   that I can’t upload images all at once.
    Please advise! Thank you.

 * Only just installed this bit noticed the Server Settings.
 * Open the Gallery plug in on the left and click on overview check out “Server 
   Settings”. Mine says “PHP Max Upload Size : 150M
    PHP Max Post Size : 12M
 * That may be the problem.
 * Hope this helps.

 * I don’t understand where the “Server Settings” are…I looked on my side panel 
   and in the plug-ins page. Can you please explain a little better?

 * When you go onto your Dashboard, look down the list on the left for Gallery, 
   then click overview. When it opens, on the far right below other boxes is a box
   that is titled “Server Settings”, and that is where the information is.
 * I am not sure if this is only for the theme I am using, (Evolve), or it is in
   all themes.
 * I don’t think the single file size is the issue as I have loaded images 4928 
   x 3264 and being over 13MB in size with no issue, but that was only a few files.
   What I was thinking was if you are loading up a big gallery of large images it
   may be over whatever the max you are allowed for your server.

 * My “Server Settings” are saying this..
 * PHP Memory Limit : 64
    PHP Max Upload Size : 10M PHP Max Post Size : 10M
 * Is there any way to change these numbers so I can just add any file size that
   I want? I’m just a novice at making webpages. Thanks!

 * I’m not really up on servers or things, but it may be a good idea to get in touch
   with your hosting company, and explain the situation and what your settings are
   and maybe mention what mine are.
 * If it is that and you don’t get any joy then maybe change hosting company, mine
   is a good one.
 * Like I said these are just ideas coming now as I’m not sure and no one else is
   jumping in.
