 * Suport,
 * Got this error below:
    Please talk to your webhost and have them update the upload_max_filesize
   to 6M in the php.ini settings. Currently it is set to a much smaller size that
   is preventing the file upload. After this setting is updated, you can come back
   to this page and try to upload dap zip file again.
 * What does this mean? How can it be corrected.
    Trying to upload a plugin and 
   show error.
 * Thank you
    Ninfa

 * You need to ask your host to increase the max file size. They can do it on the
   server easily. Or try this plugin, [https://wordpress.org/plugins/increase-upload-max-filesize/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/increase-upload-max-filesize/)

 * Hi Ninfa,
 * It sounds like the plugin that you’re trying to upload is over the max file size
   allowed by your web host. Your best bet is to contact their support and ask if
   they can increase it for you.
