About this plugin
” If that error just ruined your afternoon, GTS Upload Limit Manager is built for you.
ini value, edit server files by hand, and hope. GTS Upload Limit Manager replaces the guesswork: it scans your site to show exactly what’s limiting you, lets you request a bigger limit in a couple of clicks, writes the server config for you, and then tells you — honestly — whether it actually took effect.
What it does for you
- Shows you the truth, not one confusing number. Your requested setting, what WordPress displays, the raw PHP values your server enforces, and the real usable limit are all shown separately, so you always know what’s actually going on.
- Raises your limit without touching a config file by hand. Pick a preset from 64M to 10G, enter a custom size, or use practical high-limit mode, and the plugin writes safe.htaccess and.user.ini blocks for you.
- Reports exactly what happened, per file. No more vague “settings saved” messages — you get an applied / unchanged / skipped / removed / failed result for every file the plugin touches.
- Has your back if something looks wrong. Every change is backed up automatically first, so restoring the previous file is one click, no FTP required.
- Confirms it actually worked. After you apply a change, the scanner tells you whether the new limit is active, still propagating, or being overridden by your host — so you’re never left guessing.
- Leaves no trace if you remove it. Undo the plugin’s config changes, or uninstall entirely, and your files return to exactly how they were.
Who is this for?
Photographers and videographers uploading large media, membership sites and LMS platforms accepting big PDFs or ZIPs, WooCommerce stores with detailed product galleries, agencies managing client sites on shared hosting, and developers who just want a fast, safe way to check and raise upload limits without SSH access.
Included tools
- Upload limit scanner: requested setting, WordPress-filtered display value, raw PHP values, calculated PHP ceiling, multisite quota, and best-known usable limit, shown separately rather than blended into one misleading number
- Per-directive verification: active, pending propagation, mismatch, or not applied
- Presets from 64M to 10G, plus custom upload, post, and memory size values
- Practical high-limit mode for supported servers (never disables uploads with an unsafe upload_max_filesize of 0)
- Automatic post_max_size overhead validation, so your request stays internally consistent
- Optional.htaccess and.user.ini config block writers, with per-file apply results and partial-success reporting
- One-click backup and restore of the previous file contents before any change
- Choice to preserve or remove an existing config block when a target is turned off
- WordPress upload_size_limit filter support
- Safe, one-click removal of every change the plugin made
Honest about its limits
High-limit mode is best effort. Hosting providers, web servers, firewalls, CDNs, and security rules can still enforce hard limits that this plugin cannot override, and it will always tell you plainly when that’s the case rather than pretend otherwise. GTS Upload Limit Manager is, and will stay, completely free: no ads, no upsells, no tracking.
