  • Use when the default upload won't budge from 2MB

    This plugin is perfect for that frustrating occurrence when you want to set the upload limit for files AND after updating php.ini, .htaccess and cpanel ... nothing works. After a long search I still cannot fathom where the max upload file setting is defaulted to. Some articles allude to a server setting controlled by the hosting company.The plugin also lets you change the upload limit per 'role'. Just perfect.
