If you try to upload a large video or high-res image and see a “size limit” error, it’s not a WordPress setting—it’s a server-level restriction set by your host. Most “budget” hosts set this limit quite low (sometimes as small as 2MB) to prevent users from clogging up server bandwidth.
You can often fix this by adding a few lines of code to your php.ini, .htaccess, or functions.php file to increase the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size. However, some hosts block these manual overrides. If you’re a member of our WordPress Care Program, we handle these server-side configurations for you. We optimize your environment to handle the specific media needs of your business, ensuring your creative workflow is never halted by an arbitrary file size cap.
