HTTP Error using Image Uploader (WP 3.1/3.2)

    I know there have been tons of Image Upload HTTP error posts but I’ve noticed they’re all for WP versions under 3.0. I decided to make a new one because it has gotten confusing to swim through all the solutions and threads.

    Problem:
    – Gets HTTP error when uploading image files bigger than 200kb.
    – Upload percent goes all the way to 100% and to “Crunching…”
    – Flash uploader says “HTTP error”
    – Browser uploader opens page that says “Internal Server Error”
    – Uploader worked fine a month before prior to current situation
    – There was at one point it said “I/O error” but not appearing anymore

    The things I’ve tried that didn’t work:
    – Re-installed WP 3.1
    – Updated to WP 3.2
    – Revert back to twenty ten and twenty eleven themes
    – Disabled all plugins
    – Tried the various .htaccess solutions
    – Changed permissions to /uploads to 777
    – Recreated upload situation in Mozilla and Safari in Mac
    – Recreated upload situation in Mozilla and IE in Windows
    – Deleted /uploads and tried uploading everything again
    – Recreated images into new files then upload
    – Made an alternative folder for uploads
    – Contacted my host to see if any changes to my server

    My PHP specs:
    PHP 5.1.56, 32mb memory limit, 10mb max filesize upload
    input time: 60, execution time 30

    Help?

  • What happened to me was that if I enter link using the link-button and place it before text – all the remaining text is made clickable.

    If I insert the link at the end of the post – no text following, the url is not visible.

    I tried maaaany times, until my post was classified too old to edit. I then then resorted to simply pasting the link itself as text. Fortunately this was made an active link, so the link-button is not needed.

    Hockeyfreak solved this for me!

    My htaccess file didn’t have the code he suggested at all, commented out or otherwise – I simply pasted in the code after whatever was already there and it works! I’ve added it to all my WordPress sites!

    I would say this might be a host by host problem and you might have to find your own fix, but luckily so far all the sites with problems are sites I resell hosting for with the same host.

    Again, this is what I pasted to fix my http error:
    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files async-upload.php>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

    Thanks!

    I also added this to the bottom of my standard WordPress permalinks .htaccess file and it worked:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files async-upload.php>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

    Hope this helps others too.

    Thanks Hockeyfreak

    This .htaccess modification still has no affect. Really need this one sorted out, WordPress.

    This .htaccess modification fixed my HTTP error problem on a WP hosted on lunarpages.com.

    Hey,
    I have the same problem. But it just happens because my wordpress folder in cpanel is password protected. When I remove password protection, it works fine.
    So check your wordpress installed directory and make sure it is not password protected.

    Thanks Libin,

    Sometimes the solution is too easy to see. ??

    I had a password protection via .htaccess enabled. The problem disappeared when i removed the password protection.

    Thanks!

    In my case it was the simple:press AND the wordbooker plugin.

    I had the same problem and I think it was the smush.it plugin (though it could have been a host of others, including Akismet, because it was working on and off)

    Smush.it plugin was my issue, I just started having this issue after installing it…. deactivated and I can upload images fine again.

    It was Smush.it for me as well – however, I have had Smush.it for a while and it operated just fine until the latest WP roll-out. Apparently, it’s not compatible with the latest build. I hope they fix that soon. Smush.it is a pretty valueable plug-in
