 * I fixed this by implementing the this into the short code. Here is my sample 
   code: [fileup base=”2″ maxsize=256]

 * Well, since File Away’s default is 10MB, the issue isn’t just adding this to 
   your shortcode. You need to update your php.ini on your server to allow larger
   uploads. It’s all in the File Away documentation, and you can talk to your web
   host for help on this.
