WordPress file upload limitations

[LEL]

I am unable to upload media to my WordPress site.

See status messages in attached pictures.

Incomprehensible to me since I have unlimited storage as per my plan

How do I resolve this?

Since you didn't attached the errors you are receiving I can only surmise it is either file size or memory limitations.   Storage really has nothing to do with uploading.

Check the file size -- WordPress limits at 50M

Check your wp-config.php file to see what your memory limit is set at and increase it.  If not noted add this line to your wp-config.php file:

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

More info on this file and memory here.

HTH!

Can you please explain where to add this line exactly, because i tried it however max file upload is still 2M.

@Sharaiha 

The line would be added into your wp-config.php file via FTP.   Make a copy first as a backup!

HTH! 😉
