Maximum File Upload - May be off topic

[PBwebmaster]

Not sure if this topic is okay for this forum. Please let me know.

Maximum upload size is 40 mb. We upload videos of around 4 gbs but the videos must be private as they are used in a membership paid plan (not porn).

We use AWS for hosting the site and can create an S3 bucket, but when added to our website, anyone who views Page Source can get to the file through its direct name.

Any recommendations on how we can increase the maximum file upload size directly in WordPress without having to go through all the other steps. And in keeping the URL to the video private.

Thanks, and again, if off topic, let me know and we will delete.

Thanks,

Hey Grant,

If you have an access to the php.ini file of your hosting, try adding these code in the file:

    upload_max_filesize = 64M
    post_max_size = 64M
    max_execution_time = 300

The best way would be to get in touch with your hosting company since this setting should be tweaked in your hosting platform and has nothing to do with the theme and have then double check the following values above or have them increase the upload limit for you.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. We actually need to upload video files around 5 gbs.

Hello Grant,

You may be able to tweak the setting in the PHP.ini file so you can upload 5gbs. The problem is that whether your hosting provider would allow you to have unlimited space to be able to upload your videos. We highly recommend that you consult your hosting provider about this issue.

Regards.
