Hello – I had the same problem, with upload picture functionality working on my localhost but not on my server. I have my wordpress installation on an AWS server I had set up myself.

Anyway, I noticed the error was reported from um-image-upload.php, and debugged line by line, and figured out that it was generated by the line $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($filepath); You need the php-gd library in order for the imagecreatefromjpeg function to be available. Once I installed that on my server (for a typical AWS instance, that’s yum install php70-gd) and restarted the server the problem was resolved.

Hope this helps some other people as well! If you don’t have direct access to your server, check with your host provider.
