Hi,

Since the recent update I have noticed that my previous file size limit of 2mb has been increased to 64mb!?

How can I change this back?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @twweditor.

I have a couple of questions to help us figure out what’s happening. What site are you seeing the size limit on, and on what screens are you seeing the limit mentioned?

I ask because here at WordPress.com I’m seeing a maximum upload file size of 1 GB.

The Images support page also mentions this 1GB limit.

If your site happens to be running the WordPress.org software and hosted on a web host other than WordPress.com you may find the forums for self-hosted sites more helpful:

https://wordpress.org/support/

I did a quick search over there and found a few posts with options and solutions that sound similar to what you might be looking for if your site is self-hosted.

Yes, this forum focuses on supporting sites hosted on WordPress.com. :)

As a volunteer, I can’t see your account, but I’m guessing that might be the site WordPress.com associates as the “Primary site” on your account. It’s not a big deal. :)

If you have any other questions, let us know. Have a great day!
