Title: Image upload HTTP generic error Last modified: January 25, 2019 --- # Image upload HTTP generic error * Resolved [erotavlas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erotavlas/) * (@erotavlas) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-http-generic-error/) * Hi, I found a problem with latest version 5.0.3 of wordpress and latest version 0.9.7.1 of W3 Total Cache plugin. In particular, after several trials and errors, I found that in order to upload the images the W3 Total Cache plugin needs to be disabled. Do you know if it depends on some configuration? I noticed this since last update of the plugin.

None of the multisite is able to upload image. - This reply was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by [moisture9063](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ngrhd/). * Plugin Contributor [Marko Vasiljevic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/) * (@vmarko) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-http-generic-error/#post-11130356) * Did the issue occur after the update? * [moisture9063](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ngrhd/) * (@ngrhd) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-http-generic-error/#post-11130373) * Thank you for the reply. I turned off the HTML minify but the specific issue still persists, however, I noticed one thing got corrected. The wordpress admin bar when viewing the site from frontend now loads correctly. * [harris.anas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harrisanas/) * (@harrisanas) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-http-generic-error/#post-11130378) * I found this thread because after the upgrade to version 0.9.7.1 of W3 Total Cache plugin, I was getting “HTTP Error” when uploading images to Media Library. * The following workaround of Marko Vasiljevic worked for me as described on thread [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-upgrade-29/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-upgrade-29/) * What happens is: In wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/Cdn_Plugin.php on line 74 there is this: * ``` add_filter( 'wp_insert_attachment_data', array( $this, 'check_inserting_new_attachment' ) ); ``` * It should be this: * ``` add_filter( 'wp_insert_attachment_data', array( $this, 'check_inserting_new_attachment' ), 10, 2 ); ``` * Hopefully a fix will be released soon.

I used the fix mentioned by [@harrisanas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harrisanas/) above which resolved the issue for me. Hope this report helps to fix the error in the next update. * [raptureforums](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raptureforums/) * (@raptureforums) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-http-generic-error/#post-11147132) * I’m having the same problem. Any idea when a plugin fix is coming for this? I haven’t been able to update my image on my site since this W3TC upgrade. Thank you.
