hello, I am working on a site for which I cannot upgrade the file maximum upload size.
I simply have no access to php.ini
Is it possible to have a field (like the ‘file’ field) point at another folder in the wordpress install?

thank you

Hi @nf,

Thanks for the post.

It is also possible to increase the maximum upload size through your functions.php file through the following code snippet:

@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '64M' );
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M');
@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );
