 * Until very recently I have had no problems uploading images to post on my WP 
   webpages, but suddenly all I get is “HTTP error” no other info. The picture does
   eventually appear in the gallery but won’t upload to the page and I have tried“
   edit” upon which it says the image doesn’t exist, please upload again. I have
   looked through the forums and tried disabling all my plug ins, but no joy. It
   will upload pictures that are already in the media library but will not add anything
   new to the library.
    I am a novice at all this and don’t understand some of the
   permissions (777?) etc that have been suggested. The site was set up for me and
   I’ve been managing it, so far ok, but I can’t seem to fix this. Could someone
   advise in very simple terms that a complete beginner (me!) can understand please?
   Running Mantra theme version 2.3.3 Thanks

 * This is commonly caused by an over-zealous mod_security configuration on your
   server. You should contact your hosts about it.
