 * 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?
