I created a post that had 339 characters total (including subject and description). Also included is an attached file that is 819,876 bytes. For some reason when I post all of this, I am getting a 403 error. When I reduce the message size (e.g. just put "test" as the subject and description and keep the attachment, or keep all the text but remove the attachment) it posts ok. Just wondering if there is a limitation on post size and how can I remove this limitation?
Hi @jaycad
wpForo > Settings > Posting & Editor Settings > Topic Content Maximum Length
@tutrix Thanks - I had set these to 0 to turn off any limit. Didn't work. Set it to a really high number like 99999, still doesn't work. 🙁
Hi @jaycad ,
https://themezly.com/docs/how-to-increase-the-post-max-size-limit-2/
Please take a look this blog page, and increase the
post_max_sizeThanks @BlackRaz. I tried that, but still same issue. I updated both .htaccess and wpconfig and neither solved it. I unfortunately cannot access php.ini. Really want to use wpforo so hoping I can solve this somehow.
@jaycad This is a hosting issue and not a Wordpress/wpForo issue.
Ask your hosting provider to help you change your PHP settings
post_max_size and upload_max_filesize
Hi,
You may consider Compression if the attachment is the main cause of the size issue, consider compressing the file to reduce its size before posting. There are various compression methods available that can significantly reduce file sizes.
In addition, you may check Server/Platform limits, review the documentation or settings of the server or platform you are using to see if there are any limits specified for post size. If there are limits, you may need to adjust your content to fit within these restrictions.
Thanks
