Creating a podcast directory site – how to allow user to upload “large” files?
Just to add to what other have said, beyond changing your php.ini settings, upload size is limited mainly by the browser/connection. There are more reliable browser bases solutions that use java/flash or a combination of tech that allow for uploads reliably up to 100MB. http://www.plupload.com/ http://www.swfupload.org/ http://www.uploadify.com/ http://jumploader.com/
Best way to receive special images in posts
WordPress already does the heavy lifting for you on this. All you need to do is use post thumbnails. If you don’t see the featured image meta box on your pages/posts, place the following in your functions.php file. add_theme_support(‘post-thumbnails’); From there you will need to define a new image size in your functions.php file. add_image_size(‘special-image’, … Read more
