 * Hi! I am hoping someone could help me with these issues, I did search around 
   but most of the threads were from 3 years ago and it didn’t help my issue.
 * These issues suddenly popped up randomly. It was working fine couple of days 
   ago.
 * First Issue:
    Uploading an image through the “Add an Image” button on the edit
   a post page brings up a “HTTP Error.” in red. Screenshot: [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9179733/wperror1.jpg](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9179733/wperror1.jpg)
   The image still gets uploaded. Uploading this through the Add New Media page 
   doesn’t bring up the error. Anyone ever experienced this before?
 * Second Issue:
    When trying to insert an image into the post, clicking the “Insert
   into post” button directed me to a preview of the post. Screenshot: [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9179733/wperror2.jpg](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9179733/wperror2.jpg)
   Weird right?
 * I’ve disabled all my plugins and nothing changes
 * This is my .htaccess file:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * I am totally lost and don’t know what else I should do. This is not a server 
   issue as I have other wordpress websites on the server and they don’t show the
   same glitches.
 * I appreciate your help!!
 * Michael.

 * Have you tried:
 * – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * The image upload issue sounds like a server security configuration issue. Have
   you asked your hosts about any recent server changes?

 * This is a mod security issue that has been documented in other posts in the forums.
