define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] );

Fix for wordpress upgrade asking for FTP credentials while file-permissions allow the web-server to write all.

Put following line in wp-config.php just above the line "/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */"

define('FS_METHOD','direct');

Remove the .maintenance file from your wordpress root-directory

Increase maximum upload size

There are several places where the maximum size of uploads is limited

1. In MultiUser (MU) sites in Network Settings set 'Max upload file size'
2. In the .htaccess file check these lines. If there is nothing there this is not the limit.
php_value upload_max_filesize 256M
php_value post_max_size 256M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300
3. update php.ini
upload_max_filesize = 32M
post_max_size = 64M
memory_limit = 128M
4. In the nginx configuration set 'client_max_body_size 10m' to allow 10MB uploads
