 * Ok, ive been working on this for hours, i have tried everything from adding lines
   to my files to increase the limits, to going into wp admin network and increasing
   file size to 100mb…
 * i save and its saved successfully, but it still is only showing a 2mb upload 
   limit, i cant even upload a theme over 2 mb it says **“The uploaded file exceeds
   the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini”**
 * I cant edit the php file so i talked to host and they claim they fixed it but
   i still get this error, and upload limit is set in network admin to 100mb.
 * you can goto [http://www.dissentbase.net/phpinfo.php](http://www.dissentbase.net/phpinfo.php)
   and verify that the php info is correct (upload limit is set to 64mb)
 * Any one have any idea? Is this wordpress or is this the host? Im pulling out 
   my hair its so frustrating, i don’t have these issues on my other website hosted
   somewhere else.

 * This is a host thing for sure. I would contact your host again and let them know
   the exact error again. They may have fixed the issue but may require some sort
   of reset on their server.
 * Youcould also try adding something like
 * `ini_set('upload_max_size','10M');`
 * in your functions fie. This will only work with your hosts allows it

 * Yea I was just thinking if changing the upload size in WordPress did not work
   then the snippet I posted would not work either. Sorry. I do however think that
   it is a host issue for sure.

 * [@daterxies](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daterxies/): tronichost.com 
   looks _very cheap._ I’d find a better host; See [Recommended WordPress Web Hosting](http://wordpress.org/hosting/)

 * I actually used hostgator and had no issues.. my friend wanted me to help him
   setup a site like mine, and he decided to go with this company that i never heard
   of.
 * Unfortunately for me i have been having nothing but issues, spent hours on this
   when i could have been working on a lot of it.
