Christine – the problems I experienced were due to lazy, unspecific error messages inside WordPress code. The problems were (mostly) solved by increasing the file size upload limit on my installation – for which there was no indication they existed. My hosting company had to do it for me.

Uhm… I have the same problem with the images in WP 4.1.1. Maybe there should be something done in WordPress to support images with extreme resolutions. Some people (like myself) really need to upload high-resolution images. I mean 7000px tall, or 14000px tall, that sort of resolutions…

@blueplanetalmanac @daniel, this has nothing to do with WordPress, as @otto says above this is a hosting issue.

@johnny_n Indeed that was the case. I solved it by increasing the PHP server resources. I thought that WordPress has some limitations, but it doesn’t. It was the hosting server.

How did you do it @daniel ?

@kb – Kellie Well, I changed these values in the php.ini for the PHP server:

max_execution_time = 90
max_input_time = 90
max_input_vars = 3000
memory_limit = 256M

But you can do that only if your hosting allows you. In my case they allowed me to fully control those values after I asked them to.

Just reduce the size/dimensions of your image.

Please see this link for more details – it helped me https://sebastian.expert/fix-wordpress-an-error-occurred-in-the-upload-please-try-again-later/

Basically what it says is to use Developer tools in Chrome or Firefox to see the response from async_upload.php file after uploading files (when error message appears). It returns error details in JSON format. Having details it will be easier and a lot faster to resolve the problem.

I was getting the same error.

Then I realized I was trying to upload images on a timed-out session. I just signed in again to my wp blog and I now I am able to upload images normally.

I hope it helps

@jfrancofarias – thank you for sharing your experience! This was exactly my problem…my session was timed-out. You saved me a lot of trouble trying to track down a solution. ??

thank you jfrancofarias!perfect!

I could not upload photos either…it was just 700k, BUT! Resolution was huge. So just make it smaller and your photos WILL upload ??

Hello,
