 * Second site in the last two weeks is getting an HTTP Error when trying to upload
   simple jpg and png images.
 * I saw something in the error_log that looks like a possible cause:
    [25-Dec-2016
   23:53:04 UTC] PHP Warning: Illegal string offset ‘width’ in /home1/yiccaudi/public_html/
   yicc/wp-content/themes/yicc/image.php on line 30 [25-Dec-2016 23:53:04 UTC] PHP
   Warning: Illegal string offset ‘height’ in /home1/yiccaudi/public_html/yicc/wp-
   content/themes/yicc/image.php on line 31
 * Lines 30 & 31 in the image.php file read:
    $metadata[‘width’], $metadata[‘height’],

 * I think I’ve seen this before. If it’s the same thing, it’s because your theme
   is not robustly coded in a way that accounts for different size parameter types.
   It is setup to handle height and width pixel dimensions, but not the WP default
   size labels like “thumbnail”, “medium”, “large”, etc.
 * You could either modify the theme code to accommodate the different types or 
   seek resolution from the theme author.
