How Can I Get My Core PHP Upload Limit Raised to 120 mb

[privadv]

I need to get the core PHP upload limit raised from 50 mb to 120 mb. It looks like only your tech people can do this. I tried the suggestions of modifying my .htaccess and that didn't change it. Please help me get this fixed

You can modify the upload limit by putting in your own custom php.ini file and setting the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size. There has been a recent discussion of how to go about setting your own php.ini file here on the forums.

I hope that helps!

The php core local value now says 100M but WP still says 50M. What do I do now?

From a quick look around, it seems that in the wp-includes/media.php file there's a wp_max_upload_size function that governs how large Wordpress thinks a media file can be:

Code: Select all

function wp_max_upload_size() {
        $u_bytes = wp_convert_hr_to_bytes( ini_get( 'upload_max_filesize' ) );
        $p_bytes = wp_convert_hr_to_bytes( ini_get( 'post_max_size' ) );
        $bytes   = apply_filters( 'upload_size_limit', min( $u_bytes, $p_bytes ), $u_bytes, $p_bytes );
        return $bytes;
}

So I'm no sure what other than "upload_max_filesize" and "post_max_size" would be involved here. I don't see where else Wordpress gets this setting internally.

Thank you, John, but I'm not clear from your email what, if anything, I can do to change the media.php file. Can you please give me specific instructions on how to change the code that you pasted into your response to my query? I'm looking to increase the size to 100M. Thank you!

Never mind! Found the code I needed at codex.wordpress.org. Thanks for directing me to the media.php file--that was the ticket!

function wp_max_upload_size() {
$u_bytes = wp_convert_hr_to_bytes( '1000MB' );
$p_bytes = wp_convert_hr_to_bytes( '1000MB' );
$bytes = apply_filters( 'upload_size_limit', min($u_bytes, $p_bytes), $u_bytes, $p_bytes );
return $bytes;
}
