  How does one do this on WP 6.2.1 or higher? There isn’t a “files” management area.

  Hi Shellz .. Let us know how this worked for you!

  Generally, I think the numbers have to be exponential or something .. like 2M .. 4M .. 8M .. 16M … 32M ..

  I have this error but when I log into my admin i don’t appear to have a manage -> files option. I’m using 3.3.1 . I’m guessing things might have changes since 2007???

    Dan … if you have FTP access, you can just edit the .htaccess file and include the line. My values range between 4M and 64M php_value upload_max_filesize but, mostly 8M in my network.

    If you don’t have FTP access … you probably shouldn’t be doing this. If you have FTP access but want an easier way to do this, go to Plugins, and search for “edit .htaccess” and temporarily activate for use.

  Thanks for your help. When I open my .htaccess file its blank. When I insert the file increase size it just causes a config error. I’ll get in touch with my hosting comp.This is my first WP attempt – damn I miss good old html
