Hi, I have been searching for hours and can't figure out where this limit comes from. I am running a multisite and have set max file size in Network Settings to 3G. I have set the Advanced Attachment max file size to 3G then set the WPForo Posting & Editing>Attachments to 3G. Yet I am still limited to 50M as seen in the attached screenshot. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Red
Hi,
probably in your PHP settings, max allowed size at _upload_max_filesize
Still, who is gonna upload 50M or 3G?
@dimalifragis Hi, thanks for the reply.
Are you referring to the php.ini? Or somewhere else in the PHP settings? I saw one mention of changing PHP settings via the cPanel. My site is on a server that doesn't use cPanel. I would have to change it directly on the server, if I could find it.
@redrover61 I don't know how you manage php, i do within Cpanel. And in Cpanel -> PHP Selector - > Options everything is in there
@dimalifragis Yeah, that's in the php.ini file. Already changed settings in there as depicted in attachment.
Please navigate to the Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Addons Settings > Advanced Attachments admin page and check the "Maximum File Size" option for each usergroup.
Please note all questions related to paid addons should be asked in the gVectors.com forum. Here we only support issues related to the free wpForo plugin.

@sofy Hi, thanks for the reply.
I checked the user groups like you suggested, they were at 61M, I changed them to 512M and on the front end it still shows the limit at 50M.
I didn't think the problem was related to the Advanced Attachments add-on because the file size limit of 50M is labeled right on the post submission form and I am still getting the same error message when I try to upload an 86M video clip and still have that 50M limit stipulation on the front end with the add-on de-activated. That has to be coming from the wpForo software. It's just like this forum here; except they have a limit of 10M set.
Well, I installed a fresh copy of wpForo on one of my spare domains and the default Maximum allowed file size was 10MB.
I went to wpForo>Settings>Posting & Editor Settings and changed Maximum Upload File Size from 10MB to 512MB (the Server Upload Max Filesize and Post Max Size were both default at 1GB). This change to 512MB was immediately indicated on the front end and I was able to upload just fine.
I don't know why it doesn't work on my live site. I verified the HTML changes when I change the "Maximum Upload File Size" so it's getting the change, it's just not implementing it.
If anyone has any suggestions on how I can fix this, it would be a blessing. I don't want to be stuck at 50MB forever. This all started when I wanted to upload an 18 second video @ 86MB which failed of course.
Regards,

This is now working. I couldn't figure out why what was showing on the backend in wpForo was not being reflected in the frontend. So, I deleted the plugin, re-installed and then I set everything up to 1G server side and 512MB in wpForo settings. Restarted the server and it finally changed from 50MB to 512MB as it should. Thanks for the assistance.
