J4 uploading

Asked by Wade Myers 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

How do I change the 2MB upload limit in Joomla 4 for extensions and components?
I tried most of what I found on Google and nothing worked so far. This means I can not add security extension I want and a lot of templates, extensions, and components will not load.

Hi there!

Would you please check if you have followed this too?

However, this issue is not related to our products but to Joomla itself.

Hi,

check also in cPanel in PHP settings, maybe you have 2MB set and you cannot change this limit in Joomla itself. It must be changed there.

I know it is not directly related to your products but it is realted to your sales, If I can not up load templates, extensiopns and components I have no reason to buy them, and I seem to be one out of thousands having the same issue.

Yes I saw these online yesterday, I was able to change the media to 15M.
I also went into my host php.ini and set the following yesterday.
memory_limit 102M
Upload_max_size 100M
Post_max_size 100M

However I can not upload a file that is 2386 KB? Which is 2.39 MB Since it is over 2MB it will not load.

Any more ideas Thanks in advance.
Wade

Sure, If you know Joomla longer than a week, month - that you should know that Joomla offers 4 ways to install extensions. WordPress has only two.

One of old "tricks", since Joomla 1.5.x (at least) is:

Use FTP tool
Upload file package to root folder of your Joomla
Use Install from URL
Where you should put full URL with https:// to it

https://yourdomain.com/extension-name.zip
OR
https://yourdomain.com/template-name.zip

and then click "Install" button.

So far this method worked for me in last 15 years.
