Not able to upload images (500 error with Minamaze)

  • I know this is an odd issue. I had a working WP site. I decided to switch my theme to Minamaze. It worked fine until I went to upload an image. I would get a 500 error when the image was uploaded (on the browser front end it just said HTTP) but the back end threw this:
    “NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error – [mysite]/wp-admin/async-upload.php”

    At first I thought my hosting was messed up… but on a hunch, I reverted the theme and was able to upload images on another theme.

    I switched back to Minamaze and tried uploading images from the admin pages: media/add new – browse to the jpg, click upload. I tried both up loaders in WP but they both fail.

    I started removing plugins, but I’m just not getting this resolved yet. Has anyone seen this?

  • The problem might be with the permissions set on your uploads folder.

    When I install wordpress on my nearlyfreespeech hosted site, I have to set the permissions up on my upload folder or I get that error.

    Putty is an ssh terminal that allows you to change permissions etc. through a command line type interface. Do you have it or know about it? If you do, log into the terminal and then type those three commands into your terminal.

    To enable file/media uploads, you will need to do one or both of the following.

    chgrp web wp-admin/async-upload.php
    chgrp web wp-admin/media-upload.php
    chgrp web wp-admin/post.php

    The first is for the Flash uploader, the second is for the browser uploader, and the third is needed for deleting uploaded files.

    If you need more help then that, I can walk you through it…or maybe even make a little video so other people can figure out how to do it. ?? Let me know.

    I really love this theme and would like to be able to figure this out. I am having the same problem. I cannot find a terminal in my godaddy wordpress.

    I will make a video about how to do this tomorrow and put the link here when I am done. ?? Hold tight. ??

    Hi the cheesywhey – any chance of that video, please and thanks? I’m still getting error messages each time I upload a photo; I am able to close program and re-open and then the photos are useable (though they don’t appear in the gallery – only their filename does) This is a pain. Would appreciate any guidance you offer!
    thanks

    please where can i find the video on this minamaze theme upload issue
