#### I can't upload photos
If you experience problems uploading large photos, you might want to change the PHP parameters in `.htaccess` (if you are using the PHP Apache module) or in `.user.ini` (if you are using PHP >= 5.3 with CGI or FastCGI).

If possible, change these settings directly in your `php.ini` . We recommend to increase the values of the following properties:
max_execution_time = 200
2014-08-17 19:45:14 +00:00
post_max_size = 100M
upload_max_size = 100M

upload_max_filesize = 20M
