Fixing File Size Limit Errors When Uploading the PMPro Plugin
Some hosts restrict the maximum file size for uploads, which may prevent the Paid Memberships Pro plugin ZIP file from being uploaded.
To resolve this, you have a couple of options:
1. Contact Your Hosting Provider: Your host can increase the post_max_size
and upload_max_filesize
limits for you.
2. Upload via SFTP: You can manually upload the plugin files to your site using an SFTP client. To do this:
- Extract the PMPro ZIP file on your computer.
- Use an SFTP client (like FileZilla) to connect to your site.
- Navigate to /
wp-content/plugins/
and upload thepaid-memberships-pro
folder. - Once uploaded, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins in the WordPress admin and activate Paid Memberships Pro.
3. Continue to Initial Plugin Setup
Now you are ready to complete the Setup Wizard.
