Title: HTTP error Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # HTTP error * Resolved [tajenli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tajenli/) * (@tajenli) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-53/) * I have been using NextGen for a while and I love you plugin. * However, I just installed a new site (4.1) & added NextGen plugin (2.0.66.37). I got a strange issue: I can no longer upload images through NextGen/Add Gallery/ Images. Every time I drag some images and start uploads. All images show an exclamation mark (http error) and no image was uploaded. * I have another website that was hosted under the same domain. I updated the NextGen( 2.0.66.37) & WordPress (4.1) to the latest version and everything works fine. So there are 2 sites under same hosting, one works and one doesn’t. It’s not a server issue. I even checked both folder permission wp-content/gallery, they are exactly same. * Please help me solving this issue. Thank you a lot.

So go to your site’s dashboard, click on Settings – Permalinks and select “Post Name” and try again – if that doesn’t work then I’m sorry, but that did it for me 🙂 * Thread Starter [tajenli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tajenli/) * (@tajenli) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-53/#post-5596531) * Hi, I changed the permalink settings and saved it. Then the images start to upload normally. How does permalink change & save can fix this issue is beyond me. But it works!!! Thank you so much!

FYI, my permalinks settings was not “default”, it was on “pots name”. What I did to fix the issue is, changed it to “default” & saved, and image upload works. Then I changed permalinks back to “post name” & saved, it still works. So it’s something while you saved the permalink settings fixed the issue. It doesn’t make sense to me. But most important, it fixed the problem. * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-53/#post-5596648) * [@tajenli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tajenli/) – Thanks for the update. Sometimes the settings just need to be “refreshed” for Permalinks. It can happen under many circumstances for various themes and plugins. * – Cais. * [emarioc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emarioc/) * (@emarioc) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-53/#post-5596793) * **Hello, I had been chasing this issue for the last several days. This is what I have learned its a WP 4.1 issues and has to do with the dimensions of a file NOT it’s size as I had thought. Once you being to approach 2600×2600 uploads to the media gallery will fail with an error asking you to try again. They will actually upload to your uploads directory. They will however have only a document thumbnail in the media gallery. ** * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-53/#post-5596794) * **[@emarioc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emarioc/)** – please start your own thread – this one is marked resolved so won’t be a good place to get help. * Click here to start a new one: * [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/nextgen-gallery#postform](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/nextgen-gallery#postform) * (And no need to bold your post – it’s readable in regular text) * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-53/#post-5596795) * [@wpyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) – Thanks! * [@emarioc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emarioc/) – I’m not even seeing the relevance to the OP in your posting, it would definitely be a separate topic to address your specific issue. * Thanks! * – Cais.
