Puede que ya no tenga soporte ni lo mantenga nadie, o puede que tenga problemas 
de compatibilidad cuando se usa con las versiones más recientes de WordPress.

## Descripción

WordPress and PHP both control how large a file you can upload. **WP Upload Size**
lets you set a higher WordPress media upload limit in a few clicks—using MB or GB
instead of raw bytes.

#### Features

 * Set upload limit in **KB, MB, or GB** (no byte math required)
 * **Quick presets**: 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB
 * One-click **Match PHP max** and **Reset to default**
 * Live preview of the **effective** limit before you save
 * Dashboard showing `upload_max_filesize`, `post_max_size`, `memory_limit`, timing
   limits, and the effective WordPress limit
 * Multisite-aware: respects network upload caps and available space
 * Host guidance with copyable `.user.ini` / `.htaccess` examples
 * Clear warning when your desired limit is higher than PHP (or the network) allows
 * Never promises more than PHP / Multisite can accept in the Media Library
 * Settings link on the Plugins screen
 * Translation-ready (text domain: `wp-upload-size`)
 * Developer filters: `wpus_presets`, `wpus_max_allowed_bytes`, `wpus_effective_upload_limit`

#### Important

This plugin adjusts the WordPress upload size filter. It **cannot** raise PHP limits
by itself. If uploads still fail, ask your host to increase `upload_max_filesize`
and `post_max_size` in `php.ini` (or use `.user.ini` / hosting panel settings).

#### Where to find settings

Go to **Tools  WP Upload Size** after activating the plugin.

## Instalación

#### Automatic installation

 1. Go to **Plugins  Add New**.
 2. Search for **WP Upload Size**.
 3. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
 4. Open **Tools  WP Upload Size**.
 5. Enter a size (for example `64`) and choose **MB**, or use a quick preset.
 6. Click **Save upload limit**.

#### Manual installation

 1. Upload the `wp-upload-size` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Open **Tools  WP Upload Size** and set your desired limit.

## FAQ

### Why does my upload still fail after increasing the limit?

Your server PHP limits are lower than the file size. Check the **Current limits**
panel on the settings page. Raise `upload_max_filesize` and `post_max_size` with
your host, then try again. Also check `max_execution_time` and `memory_limit` for
very large files.

### Do I still enter the size in bytes?

No. Starting in 2.1.0 you can enter values in KB, MB, or GB. Existing byte-based
settings are kept and shown in a readable unit.

### Does this affect other files on my site?

No. It only changes the WordPress media upload size limit.

### Will this work on multisite?

Yes. On Multisite, the effective limit is capped by the network upload setting (`
fileupload_maxk`) and remaining upload space when that check is enabled.

### Can this plugin increase PHP memory or upload limits in php.ini?

No. Only your hosting environment can change PHP ini values. This plugin makes the
WordPress side easy and shows what PHP currently allows, with example snippets for
hosts that support `.user.ini` or `.htaccess`.

Thank you!

Release for WordPress.org: accuracy, safer saving, and clearer admin UX. Same core

 * Added: Extra diagnostics — `max_execution_time`, `max_input_time`, and memory_limit
   warnings
 * Added: “Reset to default” button and “Clear fields” control
 * Improved: Sanitize callback so a missing unit/value cannot fall back to a 1-byte
   limit
 * Improved: Status table shows Multisite network cap and available space when applicable
 * Added: Developer filters — `wpus_presets`, `wpus_max_allowed_bytes`, `wpus_effective_upload_limit`
 * Updated: FAQ and docs for accurate Multisite behavior
 * Compatibility: Requires WordPress 5.9+, PHP 7.4+; Tested up to WordPress 6.8
