File upload problems
How to resolve file upload problems on your WordPress site
If you are unable to upload files via your form the first thing you should try is to check if there are any updates available for the plugin, and update to the latest version if so.
Check if uploading a small file works. If this doesn't work, it is most likely due to incorrect permissions on the server, contact your hosting company to let them look at the folder permissions. If you are able to upload smaller files, it is most likely due to your PHP settings regarding file uploads. In this case you can try to increase the following values in your php.ini.
Check if you are able to upload files via your Media library from the WordPress menu. If this doesn't work the issue is with your WordPress site or server. You will need to contact your host and inform them about this issue.
If your server is returning a timeout error, you can try to increase these settings instead:
Remember the following rules when changing above values:
To upload large files,
post_max_size
value must be larger thanupload_max_filesize
.memory_limit
should be larger thanpost_max_size
If you don't know how to change these values, ask your webmaster or your hosting company.
