Hi,

when I try to upload a demo file in conversation, appears this:

"File exceed maximum file size directives post_max_size in php.ini "

How I can fix this?
Hello Vincenzo,

You are hitting this error because in your php.ini file, the post_max_size is smaller than what you are trying to upload. To change this value, you need to modify the php.ini file if it's your own server. If you are on a shared host, you will need to contact your hosting provider to get this value increased.

Hi Mark and very thanks for your reply.

I modifiy the settings contacting my provider and setted max_upload and post_upload at higher number. But doesn't work again.

I rember that my user can upload file in the front end in other section of the site, so I thought it was a problem specific to EasySocial.

Hello Vincenzo,

What message are you getting this time? If you are getting the same message, then it means the post_max_size is still not sufficient. What is the size of the file that you were trying to upload?

Hi Mark!

I setted post_max_size at 64M and upload_max_size at 32M.

What I'm trying to upload are files of 5-25 KB. And the messages are always about post_max_size configuration

I found out one of your htaccess rules causing this issue, you can refer on my attached screenshot below.


RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]


After i remove it, it work fine now, can you give it a check?
