Workaround for large uploads?

    My hosting company won’t change the upload_max_filesize to a larger value.

    Is there a way to get WP to recognize a file uploaded manually into the WP ‘uploads’ directory via FTP?

    You can try the example listed for the htaccess file within this thread.

    Um, do remember though that your host may take a dim view of you doing a run around on them.

    That didn’t work for me, unless I did it wrong. Thanks for responding, tho.

    You can try putting the below in your .htaccess file above the WP statements:

    php_value upload_max_filesize 16M
    php_value post_max_size 16M
    php_value memory_limit 24M
    php_value max_input_time 2400
    php_value max_execution_time 2400

    Change the values to whatever you need.
    No guarantees, though depending on host.

    Monotone, your host may not allow overrides.
