WordPress has a lot of errors, so you will know when you
start working on it. But don't worry, these errors don't come alone. It comes
up with solutions. One such error is the HTTP image upload error.
This happens when you try to upload the images with the help of a WordPress
media uploader. In that case, WP can be able to know what is the main cause
that shows "
HTTP error". Don't worry; we have come up with a
solution. In this blog, we will discuss the way of fixing this HTTP image upload error in WP.
Quick fix ways
1. Confirm whether HTTP
image upload error exists in your system
2. Switch to different
browsers
3. Increase PHP memory
limit
4. Do cache clearance
5. Switch to the default
theme
6. Modify image editor library
7. Disable the plugins
Confirm whether HTTP image upload error exists in your
system
Sometimes, problems
occur temporarily. For this, you can wait for some time to check whether still
error prevails or it has gone. If still, it has not gone you can proceed with
checking the other solutions.
Switch to different browsers
Sometimes HTTP image
error occurs due to some disturbance in the browser. In some cases, Google
chrome creates this issue, although it is a good browser yet if you move to
some other for timing then the problem gets solved.
Increase Php memory limit
PHP memory limit
sometimes creates this issue. For this, you have to follow these steps
a) Open cPanel.
b) Click on the file
manager
c) There you see a
public_html folder.
d) When you click on it,
you will see wp-config.php
e) There you need to add
the following line
define ('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT',
'256M');
f) By adding that above line, it increases the memory
limit of Php to 256 MB
Do Cache clearance
a) This is very simple
yet can be an effective method. For this, you have to simply click on three
dots present at the top right corner of the browser.
b) Then you need to
click on the settings.
c) After that, you have
to click on the clear browsing data.
d) Then there you have
to click on clear data option.
e) By this the cache
data gets cleared, then you can try image uploading again. If it works then
maybe, it happens due to cache problems.
Switch to the default theme
WordPress themes are
very irritating and can create a different problem. For getting rid of HTTP
error image upload error switch to the default theme. After that, you can check
whether the problem has gone or not. If the problem is gone, then it is due to
themes.
Modify image editor library
In WP, PHP uses 2 libraries;
these are Imagick and GD library. There are different issues associated with
Imagick. In that case, Imagick can cause problems sometimes so switching to the
GD library as an image editor works for you.
Disable the plugins
Sometimes when you
install a new plugin, then chances are high of occurring errors. For this, you
need to disable all the plugins,
and you can install the default plugin at that time. Maybe this works for you.
