Could not create temporary image. Check server configuration

    I’m trying to bulk-select certain images in my media library, in order to apply an image watermark, but I just get this error:

    “Watermark “URL” couldn’t be applied for “medium” image size: Could not create temporary image. Please check your server configuration”

    What part of my server config do I need to check? How to allow temporary images?

    Hello,

    This error means that the imagecreatetruecolor function has failed, it’s hard to say why, but there’s a good chance it’s because your web server is running out of memory.

    Please try to increase the PHP memory limit on your website.

    If increasing memory doesn’t help, there may be a problem with the old version of GD or PHP itself.

    Thanks for responding. I don’t see any minimum requirement info for your plugin.

    This is my setup, what is insufficient?

    I’ve switched on debug log. This is the error whenever I try to apply a watermark:

    Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in…/plugins/easy-watermark/src/classes/AttachmentProcessor/AttachmentProcessorGD.php on line 414

    Warning: imagecreatetruecolor(): Invalid image dimensions in …/plugins/easy-watermark/src/classes/AttachmentProcessor/AttachmentProcessorGD.php on line 422
    1349

    And this is the error on the watermark image settings page:

    Warning: array_key_exists(): The first argument should be either a string or an integer in /home/mikewhel/public_html/mwcs-wp/wp-content/plugins/easy-watermark/src/classes/Watermark/Handler.php on line 145
