HTTP Error while Uploading Media

    Hi, I am currently experiencing an error when I attempt to upload an image to my WordPress site. After an upload attempt I consistently receive an HTTP Error and end up with a blank/broken image.

    I am quite new to WordPress, this is my first ever website and it’s only been about a week since I registered it! The domain is: “www.competaid.com”. This error cropped up last night. While uploading two different images for my first post I received this error a few times, but after trying 3 or 4 times the images eventually uploaded successfully. The error became consistent when trying to upload a 17.2MB texture to replace my current body background. I did not make any major changes to my website between the events described so I don’t know what could have went wrong!

    I have tried:
    1) Uploading a different (smaller) image
    2) Flushing cache
    3) Clearing browser’s cache, cookies, etc…
    4) Deactivating all plugins.

    Note: My maximum upload size is 64MB so that shouldn’t be a problem. Also, my WordPress, plugins, theme, etc… are all the latest versions.

    Update – The issue appears consistently when:
    ->I upload ANY image through the Media tab
    ->I upload the body background from the theme options page
    ->I upload the body background from the post edit page (other images work)

    First of all check if all the folders & sub-folders including uploads have write permission granted. Provide 777 permission for those folders. If this does not solve your problem then try de-activating your plugin one by one & see if it works. Sometimes plugin causes this sort of problem.
    Hope that helps!

    Can we know how you solve this problem please?

    I get the same problem, error http when i try uploading an image with the regular tool.

    First, I deactivated and reactivated all plugins, the regular browser methods work to upload file, but the new one, for multiple images doesn’t. I have no idea why.

    I can add an image on the personalisation. I look at my files permissions, nothings wrong. Try to give them all permissions, 777, stil not working.

    Im totally lost, for all my other sites everything is right and the settings were almost the same.

    Thanks.

    Exactly the same problem for me. GoDaddy hosting – uploading media causes WordPress to freeze. I’ve tried a clean install, changed permissions on the upload folder, changed PhD version etc. This is happening on all my WP sites – any ideas?
