Time Out Error

Hey there

am hoping you can help

I can upload images – all day long via one ‘media-upload’ in excess of 10meg total – via the WordPress dashboard
with ‘No time out error – fatal error’ on the site.

However when it comes to front end uploading the most that can be uploaded is three (3) piddly sub 200kb files ie 600kb or there abouts –

More than this and and a ‘Time out fatal error’ occurs.

hostpapa.com server
have tried increasing the timeout section but they cap it at 30sec (this appears not to affect the WP dash upload as have, as mentioned, uploaded images in excess of 1/2 hour) – They say it is a scripting error

Am using Formidable Pro plugin to create a post with an upload field.

Is there a reason and more importantly a solution? As this boy scout is a little confused (admittedly doesn’t take much)

Many thanks in advance
Best
