Seems like your hosting provider doesn't allow uploading big files. Please contact your hosting provider asking them to increase upload file size for you. However, you can try to create a php.ini (or php5.ini) file with following contents and upload it to /admin/actions folder (or add these lines to an existing php.ini or php5.ini file):

upload_max_filesize=64M
post_max_size=64M
memory_limit=64M

Hello,

If you have a php.ini file on your server you can edit it typing the lines above or if there are these lines you should change their value (64M).

If you do not have php.ini file on your server please, contact your hosting provider asking them to increase upload max file size.

Best regards,

Get access to your webspace via FTP. Download the PHP.INI to your Computer. Open it "simply" with a text editor.

Just add the lines (see above) to the end of the .INI, whatever there is written already. After editing, simply save the

file (the original gets overwritten). Upload your changed .INI to the webserver again via FTP. Reload (Log-In again)

your website and check the upload limit. Simply upload something big to your media library.

 

(By the way, that PHP.INI file has to be in other folders on your webspace too, mostly the admin and actions folder)
