So I’ve never been crazy about GoDaddy’s hosting service, for a number of different reasons, but today I had an awesome experience with their customer service. A client of mine has a shared hosting account and they wanted to increase the Maximum File Upload size allowed in WordPress. He called GoDaddy and their support provided him with a link which directed him to modify the PHP.INI file through SSH.
Considering he doesn’t even have an FTP client, SSH was going to be quite a stretch.
In any case, turns out you can upload your own PHP.INI file directly to the root folder and it works!
Here’s the download link for a PHP.INI file for PHP5: Download
The current values are set at 40MB, but you can adjust it by changing the following settings:
1 2 | upload_max_filesize = 40M post_max_size = 40M |
