increase file upload size limit in wordpress
When to do wordpress installation that time default upload file limit is 2mb. Best way to increase the upload limit is adding code into .htaccess file. This file you will find in wordpress installation folder. Dont look into theme folder. Check your wordpress root folder for finding the .htaccess file.
Add following code in that file.
php_value upload_max_filesize 200M php_value post_max_size 200M php_value max_execution_time 2000 php_value max_input_time 2000
After this you need to add the following code in to your wp-config.php file.
<tt>define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '200MB');</tt>
Increase the maximum amount of a time a PHP script will run. Note: If using a shared hosting service, you may need to ask your host to increase the limit.
For you information I am giving you the information about most popular hosting providers.
Hostgator will gives the ability to increase the limit upto only 64mb.
