WP Upload Size

(8 ratings)

WordPress and PHP both control how large a file you can upload. WP Upload Size lets you set a higher WordPress media upload limit in a few clicks—using MB or GB instead of raw bytes.

Features

  • Set upload limit in KB, MB, or GB (no byte math required)
  • Quick presets: 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB
  • One-click Match PHP max and Reset to default
  • Live preview of the effective limit before you save
  • Dashboard showing upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, memory_limit, timing limits, and the effective WordPress limit
  • Multisite-aware: respects network upload caps and available space
  • Host guidance with copyable .user.ini / .htaccess examples
  • Clear warning when your desired limit is higher than PHP (or the network) allows
  • Never promises more than PHP / Multisite can accept in the Media Library
  • Settings link on the Plugins screen
  • Translation-ready (text domain: wp-upload-size)
  • Developer filters: wpus_presets, wpus_max_allowed_bytes, wpus_effective_upload_limit

Important

This plugin adjusts the WordPress upload size filter. It cannot raise PHP limits by itself. If uploads still fail, ask your host to increase upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in php.ini (or use .user.ini / hosting panel settings).

Where to find settings

Go to Tools WP Upload Size after activating the plugin.
