Uploading Wordpress FIles

[Data Glasses]

I have moved to a new hosting plan and want to upload a few of the old sites to the new hosting, i did this yesterday and it all went fine when i used the wordpress/tools/import with the bottom option being to import wordpress files that i had exported from the chosen site. Simple to use, just choose the file and go from there, however the is a 2mb limit and that's where the snag is. As mentioned i used this tool yesterday on a smaller file it worked fine but i am stuck on moving anything above that limit, so i need to change the limit size. I have had a hunt in the editor section but cannot see anything that may be where i need to make the change?
~
I did ask a similar question a year or so ago and i think it was johno69 who answered by saying just increase the file size. Question is where do i go to make the change from 2mb to greater size

Thanks

You will need to put in the increased limit in your .htaccess file.

php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

Where do i find these files, having a look on my cpanel ?

php.ini or .htaccess

i did find a reference to php configuration but there is a heading

'These PHP configuration settings are customizable by the server administrator. They are listed for reference only'

Your .htaccess file goes in the public_html directory.

If it doesn't exist, just create one. You can do it with the cpanel file manager.

Probably also worth noting that some hosting configurations (Cloudlinux) and different versions of PHP (especially 5.6) won't allow you to specify max memory allocation

echo phpinfo();

is your friend on that one.

I replied by saying increase the memory limit and gave more details.

Cpanel > File Manager > tick Show hidden files > www

Hey gang i have just got back to this, i did send ventrip a support ticket explaining i need to upload two wordpress larger than the allowed size. I have been avoiding this as i still basically have no idea how to go about all the advice offered above.
~
Am i correct in saying these changes have to be made at the new hosting cpanel before i delete the site from the old hosting (which is soon to be expiring) Is it as simple as going to Php Myadmin and doing the changes there? I will leave it at that for now and then hopefully get some advice to get me to the correct place.

Helloworld has offered …. Cpanel > File Manager > tick Show hidden files > www
~
.htaccess has the following when i go there via public http files
<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>

deny from 91.242.53.220
deny from 67.192.46.7

The above are just two sites that have tried to hack into my wordpress sites so i banned them but surely i would not add a file here ??
~
the thing is there are four options, home directory, webroot, public root and ftp
~
Now i do think it's for the public files but i am not sure and cannot find anything that looks like what i need??
~
hopefully i will get a response from ventra that makes sense to me. I do understand that alot of this stuff is file management but it's just something i have not tackled before and basically have no fricking idea about.

Pay someone. It's a 20 minute job to move your websites for you.

Save your 15 hours of learning, use your time for the better good.

spacey there comes a time when paying FAR outweighs learning , but don't stop learning what you can do is PAY and then go in and see what they did, thus your learning goes from 15 hours to 30 mins for NEXT time.

make money doing what you know to then pay people who know more then you is my moto......... mostly

The guy at ventraip did increase the file limits but it did not work, tim last week you showed me hot to do a ftp and since then i have done it fifty or so times so some things are worth learning, this particular problem is not the end of the world either way but considering i first asked a few years ago it was worth following up in my eyes ……but don't worry i am still spending time on my plans to take over the world!

I have not used ventraip before. but if they use cpanel wouldn't it be easier to do a cpanel transfer of all sites files etc surely ventra can do this for you?

 

[findtim]

check your allocated disk space for the domain, is it a new domain or an old one? if old check email taking up space, check email trash taking up space, are you trying to upload LARGE files that ma actually not be in use for the domain Eg: a PSD file of a template that was provided to you?

just a few things to check.

Thanks tim and xw but i am not going to worry too much about this as it was just a autosite that grabbed videos from youtube, i am actually trying one last time to do a ftp at filezilla. I dont think it will work but it will put an end to it one way or another. Many thanks !

 

[findtim]

when i am having problem i usually create a small file with just "jhkjjkhjkhkh" on it.

if it doesn't upload then you have setting problems

I have uploaded a number of my wordpress sites but these are too large so i think i will just ask ventraip to migrate the two sites and hopefully that does the job. Other than that all is good

 

[petermeadit]

How did you go Spacey? Did you get the files uploaded?

I forgot to mention how i ended up getting around this problem, in the end i exported the different categories to my pc and then using the wordpress import plugin in the tools section i was able to upload the separate categories to the new site at different hosting and stay under the maximum upload limit .....aint life grand
