## FAQ

### Does this plugin work with all servers and hosting providers?

Yes, it works with all servers. But, please know that server adjusted limits can’t
be changed from a WordPress plugin. If the server set limit is 16MB you can’t increase
it to 128MB via WordPress. You have to email your hosting provider and ask them 
to increase the limit. Install the plugin and it’ll tell you what the limits are
and what to do.

### Where do I report security bugs found in this plugin?

You can report any security bugs found in the source code of the site-reviews plugin
through the [Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program](https://patchstack.com/database/vdp/upload-max-file-size).
The Patchstack team will assist you with verification, CVE assignment and take care
of notifying the developers of this plugin.

A simple plugin that does one thing and does it well. Nice one!

When I try to upload, it adds a weird looking progress meter (I think it’s a progress
meter, hard to tell), but it doesn’t ever increase in progress, it just sits there
doing nothing. Doesn’t seem to work at all.
