Maximum Upload Size in WordPress

I am currently having problems with one of my blogs. A lot of conflict has been happening with the old host and the new host. Thankfully I still have both of them active so I still manage to get files over and over just to make sure everything is covered. I think I’ve backed up my files more than 10 times in the last week or so.

Anyway, I’m trying to upload one of my zip files in the cpanel when I got this error: “ has failed to upload due to an error. This file exceeds the maximum upload size for this site.”

Ok, I didn’t want to contact my host because I have a feeling I’d get lost in their words so I tried to search online for help. Thankfully, I found this post from WebConsulting.com.au. It said all I need to create a php.ini file in Notepad and paste some codes, then install it in my wp-admin folder.

So in notepad, I created a new file and pasted what was needed:

;; set memory limit for cache.php
memory_limit = 64M
upload_max_filesize = I tried 70M and 128M (thinking it might needed to be in 32-64-128Mb format)
post_max_size = 33M
max_execution_time=600

I then saved it as php.ini, making sure I click “All files” in the part that says Save As Type: so it doesn’t get saved as a text file (.txt). After saving my file, I logged on to Filezilla and uploaded it to my wp-admin folder.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work. I did ask my host after that and was advised that 50M was indeed the limit for file manager. If my file exceeds that size, I would have to use FTP to upload my folder. I’m not giving up though, I’m still hoping there’s another way since I know transferring via FTP will take hoursssss.

Any ideas on what I can do?

Mobile Home

I think it was while watching Gnome Mobile when I was in my teens that I first got this idea that I wanted to live in a mobile home. Then I thought it would be the perfect home because you can bring it anywhere you go. Of course I didn’t know about 5th wheel insurance or how overnight parking would be a problem back then. Also, I don’t think I can trade living in a home for a mobile home nowadays because wireless/broadband internet is still not as stable as it has to be here in our country.

Audio Video Receiver Entertainment Set Up

Here’s a fact: you can have all the equipment that makes a really good home theater system, one that lets you catch the sound of a slightest pin drop, but all that would be pretty much useless if you don’t have an AVR. Indeed, you can have a plasma TV, a Blu-Ray Player, an astounding speaker system, yet these are nothing if you don’t have an audio video receiver, which is touted as the heart of every good home theater system.

What is it? Well, it’s basically a component that is specifically designed to make the sound coming from different audio sources more intense or much stronger, and also, it directs video from various video sources like a DVD or Blu-Ray player straight to your television. We won’t get into the nitty-gritty of this equipment. Needless to say, it contains a series of processors inside it which translates both digital and analog signals to various sound formats like Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic.

If you are techie enough, you can go ahead and set up you home theater system. Otherwise, it would be the wisest course of action to call someone who can expertly work on your network of lines and cables. That’s the only way you can enjoy all your audio and video equipment, by having an enviable set up.

iPhone Cases that Suit Whatever You Fancy

When the iPhone 4 was released, everybody was giddy with excitement. Here comes a new gadget, just barely coming after iPhone 3G; a new toy to play with. Instantly, iphone cases sprouted left and right like mushrooms. If you have an iPhone 4 and you’re looking for a protective case for it, there are about 5 specialized cases made from different materials that you can choose from.

One is the metallic iPhone case, which would probably be the best case for those who have the tendency to be careless, leaving their phones anywhere or often committing the blunder of dropping their phones unceremoniously. There is, likewise, the leather iPhone case, made of genuine leather, which could protect your gadget from scratches and what-not. Not to be missing from the list is the silicone iPhone case that is perfect for people accustomed to outdoor activities. With this case, your phone won’t easily slip off your hands.

An iPhone case made of polycarbonate is a proven protection against impact and the changing temperature. Finally, there’s a carbon fiber case, which is a light weight case that shields your expensive phone from scratches. Now, if none of these cases appeal to you, how about a scented case that’s in the same attractive colors as Jelly Belly beans? What makes the case even more attractive is the hole for the camera lens that’s in the shape of a jelly bean. The choices are endless, but the main point is to keep your gadget – an investment on its own – safe, secured, and protected.
