HTTP Error when uploading Media

  • Hello, my blog is https://www.measureofideas.com/

    I have been having issues with my upgraded installation of WordPress, where new images cannot be uploaded (there’s an error when crunching) and old images would not show.

    I have gone through the forums and tried every fix I have read about;

    1) I added a .htaccess file with updated code somebody provided

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?uploads/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    2) I tried changing the Setting > Media > Uploading Files option to show wp-content/uploads, whereas before it was blank
    3) Changed my permalink options
    4) Tried deactivating, deleting all plugins
    5) Tried adding the Filter WordPress to WordPress plugin

    When this didn’t work I decided to cut loose and try for a completely fresh installation. I deleted the old database and made a fresh new installation of WordPress, to no avail; still getting HTTP Errors when I try to upload an image in Media. Any ideas?

  • Have you tried clearing out the htaccess file (back it up first), then resetting your permalinks?

    Yes, I’ve just tried that ??

    I deleted the .htaccess file completely and reset permalinks, no change, and uploaded an .htaccess file with # BEGIN WordPress# END WordPress with permalinks set to default, no change either ??

    Still haven’t found a fix for this, been fiddling around all day. I’ve done a second complete wipe, new database, new installation etc. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I have now tried deleting the database for a third time and installing my previous version of wordpress, and I’m still getting the same HHTP Error when trying to upload media which was never there before! I’ve also tried setting file permissions to 777 on wp-content and uploads.

    I’m about ready to give in and call it a day. I’ve tried pretty much everything.
