hello i am using wordpress and i am currently trying to upload a plug-in but it is coming up with this error
The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
You can only upload files that are under a certain size.
Read about those limits here:
On all InfinityFree servers is a file size limit of 10 MB. It’s important to note that this is a file size limit and not an upload limit.
The difference is subtle, but important. An upload limit could be set through PHP settings, but this limit is enforced on the file system level. No PHP configuration can override this limit and it applies to files uploaded through FTP or the file manager as well.
Can the limit be increased?
No. The size limit is fixed and cannot be increased in any way. 10 M…
Additionally, there is a workaround here:
InfinityFree has a file size limit of 10 MB on all servers. You cannot upload files larger than 10 MB.
Installing large scripts
A particular software package may be larger than 10 MB in size. Because of this limit, you cannot upload the archive directly and have it extracted on the server. However, you can easily upload the contents manually.
To do so, you will first need a good FTP file manager for your desktop and setup an FTP connection. See the how to upload files with FTP article for more…

If the plugin or theme you are uploading is over the 10MB file size limit, this error will pop up. Uploading the plugin or theme via FTP may help.

How will that help? If the file is over 10mb, there is no way to upload it.
It will work, if uploaded the files after extraction.

If the file itself is over 10mb, then no.
But normally (I assume, according to what I can infer from the tutorials and such) the files are in one big zip archive which is over 10mb.
