I keep trying to upload a file and I get an error " The uploaded file exceeds the max filesize directive." I compressed the file that didn't work. What am I doing wrong

Hello,
 
Actually, the maximum upload size is set in your php.ini file on your server. If you have an access to your server and to this file, please open it and find two variables, namely:
 
upload_max_filesize = 2M
 
and
 
post_max_size = 8M
 
Change the values to the ones your require. Please, note that post_max_size value should be a little bit higher than upload_max_filesize.
Also, keep in mind that we recommend you to upload such big files via your FTP client program rather than via your Admin console.
 
With kind regards,
