  2. Lack of resources
  3. Improper permissions

Steps To Solve WordPress Image Upload HTTP Error

 

If you are suddenly facing it without any change of server/host and you uploaded images in the same month :

  1. It is likely that you have some theme or plugin related issue. Issue may be a need of simple pending update or some security related plugin (like IP Geo Block) or image compression plugin or apparently unrelated plugin is disturbing. Simple temporary deactivation should solve the issue.
  2. The file name has possible problem like presence of period (.) or apostrophe (,) within the name of name. As examples, Abhishek's photo.jpg, Dr.Abhishek Ghosh.jpg are likely to throw error. Correct convention is abhishek-s-photo.jpg, dr-Abhishek-ghosh.jpg.
  3. May be the image size is too large in dimension. An image wider than 1500 pixels may throw error.
  4. File type (JPG or PNG) may be temporarily creating error.
  5. Database server for some reason is slow.
  6. CDN (if you use one) is not serving some needed JavaScript.
Steps To Solve WordPress Image Upload HTTP Error

If you are suddenly facing it without any change of server/host and you have not uploaded images in the same month :

  1. All the above points are applicable.
  2. Check whether WordPress can create month name directory.

If you are suddenly facing it without after change of server/host :

  1. Really difficult to easily point out. Error can be out of PHP.ini settings, Apache .htaccess file settings, Apache security module, less allocated memory, improper permission to WordPress.
  2. All the above points are applicable.

There are some generally accepted ways. Changing memory limit from wp-config.php is one of them :

Vim
1
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

Apache mod security module may need tweak via .htaccess :

Vim
1
2
3
4
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

May be, you need to exclude the file upload and WP CRON scripts from Access Control based on Authentication via .htaccess (it is slightly insecure) :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
<FilesMatch "(async-upload.php|wp-cron.php|xmlrpc.php)$">
Satisfy Any
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from none
</FilesMatch>

These settings are minimum need from php.ini for modern WordPress :

Vim
1
2
3
4
upload_max_filesize 64M
post_max_size 64M
max_execution_time 300
max_input_time 300
