I hope that you will be able to help me. I have an issue where users cannot upload any file over 100MB (98MB is fine, 103MB is not) from the front end, but I can upload much larger files without issues via wp-admin. I use BuddyPress and Youzify and the Youzify upload progress bar won’t do anything if the file is over 100MB, but I also tried Forminator Pro and I am also not able to upload a file over 100MB, so I wouldn’t say the issue is with the Youzify per se.
I set the php settings in cyberpanel admin > EDIT PHP CONFIGURATIONS
The website is hosted on Digital Ocean and I use php 8.2. I tested this also on a different website hosted on AWS and php 7.4. and I was also unable to upload a file over 100MB.
I would also like to correct my previous statement that I was able to upload a larger file via wp-admin with no issues, I forgot that I had big files upload plugin activated, which allowed me to upload a file over 100MB, but that only works for back end uploads, not for front ends.
Seems like a plugin issue. Kindly use WPForms or Formidable Forms that offer file upload functionality directly from the user-facing side of the website that have been proven to work.
Thanks again for your response, but this is def not related to a plugin because I am not able to upload a file over 100MB not even from the back end and secondly, I created a simple upload form in the root directory and I had the very same issue, any file under 100MB was uploaded without issues, but anything over 100MB resulted in endless loading…
I wanted to test it out if this is really causing the issues, so I switched cloudlare to DNS only but without it I am not able to access the website for some reason, I am getting 404 error… :
Edit: It was SSL causing the 404 error…
And yeah, you are right… I disabled CF and I was able to upload larger file without issues.
CF yes, you have to upgrade to a paid plan
at that point you can also open different ports
but I so long as CF runs your Name servers, you cant by pass the 100MB upload limit. They watch and decypt ALL your in/out traffic ( big Brother)
