 * Every time I try to upload a file larger than 100kb I get a message saying file
   exceeded capacity. Why can’t I upload these files when the max file upload size
   is 128mb?

   File Upload Limit”?

 * Maximum upload file size: 128MB
    But I get HTTP error. on the new up loader &“
   Request Entity Too Large The requested resource /about/wp-admin/media-upload.
   php does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided
   in the request exceeds the capacity limit.” on the browser up loader. The file
   in question was a PDF size:299kb

 * Hi there,
 * I’ve been using WordPress for at least a few months and I’ve started creating
   my own website with BlueHost as the hosting service for my website on Thursday
   14th February. I’m currently having problems doing that as the wordpress.org 
   installation has a limited size of 10MB.
 * I wanted to increase the uploading limit to the limit that was used in the free
   blogs from wordpress.com which is 13GB. (I actually have a blog from wordpress.
   com)
    Why I would like to have a increased uploading limit was to upload more
   image content, pdf contact and YouTube videos for my website. My intention for
   the website is to create an e-portfolio to sell to different firms and practices.
 * I would like to know what the highest uploading limit is for wordpress websites(
   wordpress.org)? So that I can change the file size in the php.ini file from the
   BlueHost hosting site. That would be greatly appreciated
