I use authorize.net. They charge $30 a month.

Additionally, their credit card clearing house is Cybersource (I think). Cybersource charges me $199 a year, plus a small % of each transaction (I think between 1% and 3%; I have not looked real closely) or a minimum monthly fee, whichever is more.

Maybe it’s a size of format issue? Try uploading a copy of a pic that is already in your Media Library. Can you upload any pics at all?

I tried deactivating a bunch of plug-ins and re-enabling them one by one, but the result is too random:

1. Deactivated:

1. Advertising Manager
2. Get Permalink
3. Google Analytics Dashboard for WP
4. Google XML Sitemaps

Now can upload pic!

• Reactivated:

1. Advertising Manager: got error “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
2. Get Permalink: upload error! “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.”
3. Google Analytics Dashboard for WP: error
4. Google XML Sitemaps: error

• Deactivated those four plug-ins: error again
• Try activating/deactivating one by one:

1. Deactivate Akismet: still error
2. Deactivate Inline Posts: still error
3. Deactivate ShareThis: still error
4. Deactivate Simple Facebook Comments: success
5. Activate Simple Facebook Comments: error again
6. Deactivate Simple Facebook Comments: success
7. Activate Akismet: success
8. Activate Get Permalink: error
9. Deactivate Get Permalink: error again!!

In wp-config.file I had to add “define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘100M’);” code. And ran few scripts to fix any issue.

No good!

With WP 4.4.0, I’m getting the “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.” error when uploading a pic, both via browse-and-select and drag-and-drop. File is less than the upload_max_filesize in my php.ini, my memory_limit in php.ini is 1024M (!), etc.

I’ve read about possible conflicts with plug-ins. I am going to try disabling plug-ins one by one and see what happens…

Google for “1and1 500 server error wordpress”.

Short reply to your “no .htaccess file in root directory” query: you can just create/upload a new .htaccess file. I think by default there is no .htaccess file there.
