Hi.
I have set an upload file size limit of 2mb on all areas of the site with the exception of one area where it is set to 8mb.
However, when a user tries to upload a file larger than 2mb to the 8mb section they are told that it exceeds the 2mb limit.
Is there a master setting somewhere that I need to change?

Hi Jeffie,
Can you copy and paste the exact error?
Web hosts can set arbitrary limits on uploads. Sometimes you can change them yourself by editing a php.ini file or by asking them to do it.
You can see what limits your web host has imposed by clicking on: Admin > General > "Show server upload limits" (under the Upload Folder Url field).
If it's too low, ask your host to increase it. Many will.
Hope that helps!
