 * I have been getting HTTP errors for the last few days when uploading images.
 * The errors are quite sporadic – sometimes the image will upload, sometimes it
   wont.
 * Sometimes compressing the image helps, sometimews it doesn’t.
 * As an alternative I have began uploading images using FTP through cPanel
 * The images upload absolutely fine.
 * I am using the File Manager plugin to see if WordPress can see them. The images
   are visible in File Manager and visible through cPanel
 * When I go to add an image to a page that was uploaded through cPanel, sometimes
   the images are visible in the Insert Media, sometimes they appear faulty (but
   still work when added) and sometimes they are not visible (even though they are
   visible in cPanel and File Manager)
 * Any ideas Why are the images not being recognized?
 * I am not using much storage as yet.

 * Only images uploaded thru wordpress will show up in the media library.

 * Thanks kmessinger
 * That makes sense why I couldn’t see the ones uploaded through cPanel. Not sure
   what caused the initial problem but it has been ok since 🙂
 * Best wishes
