Markdown Parsers

Ultimate Markdown uses different parsers depending on the context in which content is processed. These parsers convert Markdown to HTML and vice versa.

Upload Limits

When importing multiple files, you may encounter limits on the number of files that can be uploaded at once.

Cause

The limit is controlled by the max_file_uploads directive in your server’s PHP configuration.

This affects bulk imports performed via the Tools menu.

How to Increase the Limit

The plugin cannot modify server limits. You need to update your server configuration:

Option 1: php.ini

  1. Locate your php.ini file
  2. Find or add the directive max_file_uploads. For example set it to max_file_uploads = 100
  3. Save the file and restart your web server

Option 2: cPanel

  1. Log in to cPanel
  2. Open MultiPHP INI Editor or Select PHP Version
  3. Locate max_file_uploads
  4. Increase its value
  5. Save changes
