Troubleshooting

Why can't I upload .mp3 files / what does "Bad upload request" mean?

Scenario:
"I want to upload .mp3s but Nucleus keeps giving me this error message:

Bad upload request.

What should I do?"

Solution:
Go to "Global Settings" and check that under "Allow File Types for Upload" you have mp3 listed. Also check that "Max. upload file size (bytes)" is big enough for the file you are trying to upload.

If after this you still cannot upload, it means your host has placed a file size limit on upload. Contact them and ask them to increase the file size limit in php.ini.
