Overview
This plugin replaces the built-in WordPress plugin uploader with one that allows you to upload a plugin of any size.
This is something you might need if your web hosting has a low maximum file upload limit (some default PHP installs have 2MB), and the plugin you wish to install is too large for this.
It accomplishes this task by replacing WordPress’s default plugin uploader with a more sophisticated component that can upload larger files in chunks. You just install this plugin, activate it, and that’s it – you can now get back to the real work.

Very simple and straightforward
by tawabwp·5 years ago
I needed to install a plugin of 5.5mb. I found out that most wordpress sites allow plugins up to 2mb. You can either change this in php.ini or .htaccess file or just use this plugin. Easy to use and straightforward 5/5.
Perfect!
