How do I change the upload file size limit in single-site wordpress install?

Question

In the multi-site wordpress install, you get a very nice "upload settings" in the network admin settings. (see attached image).

I am trying to change these settings without using php.ini for a single-site wordpress install and I can't find them anywhere... help?

Answer 2

Maybe this thread can help you? http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-change-my-upload-limit?replies=6?

It suggests changing settings in php.ini and/or .htaccess

Answer 3

I wound up contacting the customer support for my hosting company and they made the change. I found out that the difference between wordpress single install and multi-site is that multisite lets the superadmin drill down into specific sites and set the limits for those sites. In terms of the overall limit, wordpress single site doesn't "care" about that, and just reflects what is set on your own server.

If you have access to php.ini, you can change this setting yourself. Otherwise, you're at the mercy of your hosting company.

Best of luck!
