Title: HTTP Error after upload is completed Last modified: September 23, 2019 --- # HTTP Error after upload is completed * Resolved [LanceRec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lancerec/) * (@lancerec) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-after-upload-is-completed/) * I started receiving an “Http error” after completing an mp3 upload but before it does it’s “crunching”. I was able to successfully upload a pdf and an mkv Saturday night (Sept 21) but I haven’t been able to successfully upload anything since Sunday morning (Sept 22nd). I have tried multiple fixes via searching, including: * -Trying all 3 different upload methods -Trying to resave my mp3 (16 MB). The file isn’t corrupted and it isn’t named differently than the other 100+ mp3 files I have uploaded over the last 4 years. -Trying to upload various smaller files including jpgs, docx, & pdfs. -Edited my wp-config.php to include the define(‘ WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’); code. I believe that this won’t make any difference due to my host (DreamHost) limiting my upload max size to 64 MB. -Deleted over 500 MB of datafiles in case I’m bumping up against a hosting file storage limit. I am currently at 4.28 Gb I was just under 5 GB last night. -I have deactivated all of my plugins (7 plugins active, 2 deactivated). * I am up to date on all of my plug ins. Nothing that I’m aware of has been updated since my last successful upload Saturday night. I am on WP version 5.2.3 and running the Coraline theme that I have been using forever. * I will open a ticket with my host, too. * Thanks, Lance * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhttp-error-after-upload-is-completed%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Thread Starter [LanceRec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lancerec/) * (@lancerec) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-after-upload-is-completed/#post-11961523) * I have also updated my PHP version to 7.3 * Thread Starter [LanceRec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lancerec/) * (@lancerec) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-after-upload-is-completed/#post-11961525) * Sorry for the follow on messages. I usually use Chrome but I have tried Firefox with the same error. I have alos tried multiple different computers, all Windows 10. * [SJW](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whitsey/) * (@whitsey) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-after-upload-is-completed/#post-11962082) * I have seen this error before and I recall it being related to disk space – the file tried to save after upload and when it couldn’t, it gave a generic http error. Given you say that there is plenty of space, I guess it is not related to that. * What I would do: 1. Change the filename e.g. to .jpg and then try and upload that – rule out a problem with “mp3” extension 2. If it’s not that, and you have space, try a different file, any file to confirm it is only this single file.( Try a file of similar size) * [taylormia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taylormia/) * (@taylormia) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-after-upload-is-completed/#post-11962315) * HTTP response status codes indicate whether a specific HTTP request has been successfully completed.
