You've got my contact info - I'll send you a login to upload or an admin login if you don't want to create a dummy login. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-upload-not-working-failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-help#post-28737 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 18:09:25 +0000 Carl Hancock 28737@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here are some sites that discuss how to increase your max upload size PHP settings.</p> <p><a href="http://css-tricks.com/snippets/php/increase-maximum-php-upload-size/" rel="nofollow">http://css-tricks.com/snippets/php/increase-maximum-php-upload-size/</a></p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-increase-the-max-upload-size" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-increase-the-max-upload-size</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=php+increase+max+upload+size" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=php+increase+max+upload+size</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-upload-not-working-failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-help#post-28721 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 16:52:11 +0000 Fred Romano 28721@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You need to update your php.ini file on your server to increase the upload limit file size. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-upload-not-working-failed-temporary-file-could-not-be-copied-help#post-28719 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 16:43:48 +0000 WyattK 28719@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Does anyone have a clearer explanation on how to fix this issue?

It tries to move files uploaded via HTTP POST to the specified folder. According to the PHP docs, it could fail if the file was not uploaded correctly or if it can't be copied to the destination folder for some reason.</p> <p>Is there any change you can give us a temporary FTP and WP account so we could troubleshoot it? We can't replicate this issue on our servers.</p> <p>You can email me at alex[at]rocketgenius.com. </p>
