FormMaker_WordPress.zip too large error

Jen White created the topic: FormMaker_WordPress.zip too large error

Trying to upgrade Contact Form, removed free version, downloaded zip file, then went to add new on plugins, selected zip file but get an error message that it is too large. Working on local host to design first then plan on uploading to hosting company. How do I get this installed on local host when the system says it is too large?

Your max upload size is determined by configurations withing PHP on your web server which can be changed by modifying the php.ini file located on your server. Where that is exactly depends on how you're running your local server (e.g. WAMP, BitNami, etc.)

Once you do locate that file, search for the following conditions and adjust them accordingly.

memory_limit = 32M
upload_max_filesize = 24M
post_max_size = 32M

After that, you should have no problem uploading larger files.

Hello Jen and Logan!

Thank you for your kind help, Logan! This is the best way to deal with this issue, indeed.

But there is a workaround, of course. You can install the plugin via FTP connection, Jen. Here are the steps you need to follow.

1. Connect to your website server using an FTP client software, e.g. FileZilla.
2. Open the directory containing the files of your WordPress site and navigate to /wp-content/plugins folder.
3. Unzip the plugin installation folder (/form-maker) and upload it to /wp-content/plugins directory, without modifying files.
4. Login to administrative panel of your WordPress site and go to Plugins page.
5. Find Form Maker and click Activate button.

Thank you! Have a great day guys!


Kind regards,
