 * Hi guys, I have a serious problem with image upload. Every time I want to upload
   en image I get HTTP Error – that’s it. Nothing more, no specific error or explanation,
   nothing. The version that I am using ist 4.1. I have already tried:
    – PHP 5.4
   and 5.6 (default was 5.3) – different image sizes and types – different pages(
   all 4.1) and different hosting providers – without any plugins and with a default
   theme – different browsers (except IE, I’m a Mac user)
 * I desperately need a solutions because I have sites that are online for some 
   time now and until now it was everything OK, after last update all my WordPress
   sites have the same error and my customers are, as expected, not very happy and
   neither am I.
 * Thanks

 * Try disabling any security plugins you may have and try upload again.

 * Hi, thanks, as I mentioned, I have already tried to upload with no plugins installed
   and with a default theme. It is the same. I am suspecting that this is a WordPress
   bug, but I still need some workaround until update is released.

 * I’ve tried with define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’); but my provider have already
   upload limit at 256 and the images that I am uploading have all less then 1MB.

 * try to get around this by uploading images to server by ftp in the upload folder
   and then using this plugin [](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-from-server/)
   [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-from-server/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-from-server/)
   
   to transfer them to media manager – a hack – but at least it works

 * Thank you very much, it works! True, is not a solution but is a very good and
   simple workaround.
