HTTP Error uploading images

  • I’ve had problems uploading images. .jpg, .png, anything. We’re talking 200kb size images. I get a constant “HTTP ERROR”.

    I host with Hostgator, and they can’t figure it out. I have 4 sites on one cloud hosting plan. This site https://www.retirewire.com is the problem, though I’ve not tried to upload images on the other sites recently

    I’ve already deactivated all plugins, still the problem occurs. I do NOT have jetpack plugin either.

    I’m not sure what to do or how to fix it, can you please advise?

    I do not know how to code or anything, that’s out of my league (which is why I use this theme and WP in the first place).

    Also, are there other ways to upload images than through WP? I’ve tried putting them on the host through Filezilla, but they don’t show up in Media when I want to add them to a post. I tried the plugin “add the file” (can’t remember exactly what it’s called) and it won’t work either – it says the file is already there.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Have you tried:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP.
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    This is commonly caused by an over-aggressive configuration of your server’s mod_security module. Try asking your hosts to look at their mod-security specifically.

    I was very frustrated with the same problem.
    Finally installed the “add from server” plugin
    It’s a great work-around solution.

    So the theme maker logged in and installed the “Force Regenerate Thumbnails plugin” and now it works.

    Not sure if it will work for anyone else, but if someone has the same issue and stumbles upon this thread maybe you could try that plugin as well!

    I spent a couple hours on the phone with HostGator (their support sucks). They finally ended up just telling me that the settings in place are their common settings and that’s not the problem.
