I’ve been running my forum on Invision Community and I’m trying to increase the file upload limit for the downloads manager. In the AdminCP, under the category settings, there’s a field for upload limit, but it seems capped at 2 MB. I know the server itself can handle larger files (I’ve uploaded 25 MB+ via other scripts on the same host).

Has anyone successfully bypassed this limit? I suspect it’s a combination of Invision Community’s internal settings and PHP configuration. On Xisto hosting, we can adjust php.ini or use .htaccess to modify upload_max_filesize and post_max_size. Does Invision Community enforce its own limit regardless?

I’d appreciate any tips or walkthroughs. Thanks!
