     Try clicking ‚file url‘ button first it fetchs url, then click insert into post. Hope it works for you.

   I tried this initially with 744. This stopped any images appearing at all for me on either wp-admin or my live website. Which was worrying and panic inducing!
   So then tried 755, and images are appearing again on my live website. Which is a relief.
   Still having exactly the same issue with uploading images though. Getting ‚http error‘.

   Hi,
   I did my way, solved very well

   Go to your hosting cPanel, go to PHP Version in the Software block..
   Go to PHP Options in the right button
   Edit to be like this :
   :
   memory_limit 1024M
   post_max_size 128M
   upload_max_filesize 64M

   Then back to cPanel frontpage

   Go to ModSecurity in the Security section
   Change to Disable for your domain.

   VOILAA !!!!

   Regards
   Let me know your success story

   If the issue is cropping up after transferring a site to a new domain this works for me:
   open the Settings menu, and select Media. If you see a file path with a textbox displaying where the files should be uploaded to, delete the text in the file path textbox, and click Save Changes once you’re done.

   No try uploading an image, should work fine.

   • Katie

     Thanks – that solved my problem. The server path had somehow been defined in Settings > Media. Removed it and replaced with the default wp-content/uploads, saved and that fixed it

     Hi Tom,

     I just wanted to say thank you as well. Your post saved me a lot of grief! I used a plugin to migrate a site to a new provider. The tool is excellent, but in this instance were so many files in my uploads directory that I needed to exclude images and move them separately via ftp. I spent an hour carefully checking file permissions and ownership in the Wordpress uploads directory until I came across your post. Sure enough, nder „Settings / Media“ there was a hardcoded path valid only with my old hosting provider. Great post!

    I must have read two dozen different fixes fir this image error thing, then found a solution that s far, far easier than anything else I have read. In fact here’s the solution in three words: Change your browser.

    Yep, that’s all I did. I’ve tried lots of different „solutions“ with no joy, then just by chance I was working on a different computer one day, using Opera instead of Chrome (I’ve had the error with IE, Edge, Firefox etc. too) and I had no problem uploading my images. I’ve been using Opera for the purpose for months now and never had the HTTP error since.

    I’m not saying it will work for every occurrence but it’s got to be worth a try!

    please tell any suggestion ?

    • Heather

      Me too! I even thought I fixed the problem by increasing the upload size through the Media section under Settings and nope! You know what got it to work?

      Resizing my freaking images. Silly me thought I was doing that through the settings on Wordpress, but nope!

      I have a Mac and I resized my large images to 1920×1080 or less and made sure my Media Settings allowed that and sure enough, it works! All those hours of frustration… *sigh* I hope that helps!

        I have no problem with inserting photos by doing so inside a paragraph and wraping text around it. But I cannot insert a larger photo in an area free of a paragraph. The size of the photo doesn’t change even though the file is larger. I changed the settings (media/settings) but nothing works. Can you help?

        Antworten

        • WPBeginner Support

          Hi Joe,

          Here is a simple tip that you can try if you haven’t already tried it. Press the enter key twice after adding a paragraph. Click on the upload media button to upload your photo. In the right column, select Full Size and then click on the insert image button. As soon as photo appears in your visual editor, press the enter key twice and start typing.

13. Alice

    It still doesn’t solve my problem. I recently moved my newly created website from a subdomain to my main domain and everything worked fine except for my uploads. I went to my optons.php and tried to change my upload path. I noticed that when I tried to upload a file, the file is not even in my folder, doesn’t show up in my media library as a thumbnail. However, when I clicked on the broken image and clicked „edit image,“ the image actually showed up!!! How weird! How can I fix my problem?

    Antworten

    • Melina

      Hi Alice, I have exactly the same problem! I tried all the solutions that are given down but because my problem is with my multisite duplicates and not with the root site, none of them works. I can uploads the pictures, the sub-site recognizes they are there but shows just grey thumbnails. When I go to my ftp all access are correct and I have already tried changing the upload path. Nothing works! Could you solve your problem? What was the solution??

      • Lakshya Mohan

        Similar problem is occurring with me. I have tried everything but still no use. When I upload an image, I see a blank thumbnail clicking on which I see a blank preview, but if I click on edit then only I am able to see the image. When I put that image in any post I see a broken link.

17. Temi

    This is what I did to mine:

    I have moved my main file from one folder to the other in same cPanel and done some redirection. I didn’t change the LINK in Media setting for folder location so rather than images being located in the folder for the current domain directory, it was searching for images in the folder off the current one.

    Just go to Settings in your wordpress dashboard, locate Uploading Files, Store uploads in this folder and check the directory (link) in that box. If the domain name is the old one you transferred from, then change it to your current one and save. Try upload images again and you would be glad.

    Antworten

    • Robert

      Thanks to the author and also Temi, both your tips helped fixed my issue. I initially created my WP site in a subdirectory as well and subsequently moved it to the root folder to go live, not realising that Media settings was one of the places where I needed to update with the new URL to remove the subdirectory.

      Just to clarify for everyone else, the Uploading Files field is under Settings > Media.

    If this problem seems to be only when using google chrome- I found the answer to cure this problem as follows:

    Go to settings on chrome- if you are signed in to chrome- sign out. reset the browser, clear the cache, reboot the machine and use chrome without signing in- presto !!!

    You should now be able to upload images using the normal way. let me know if this works for you !

    I’m having a strange issue related to this that i dont see anything similar in the thread. I uploaded a few images just fine a couple weeks ago. we were updated to the latest WP version at the time. Today I am going to upload images and the progress bar begins, and then just sticks at about 25%. never moves from there. I get no error message or anything. But when i click to leave page it just leaves – there is no „do you want to leave page while…“ message. and then when i come back there is no progress bar or anything. The image is simply not there, no is there any indication i tried to upload it. I didn’t change anything in the settings between the time when i could upload images, and i tried deactivating the only plugin i installed and it did nothing.

      Hi, guys, this is how I fix the image issue in WordPress library

      In cPanel, in the Files section, click File Manager.
      Select the button for Web Root (public_html/www).
      hit the setting icon in the right
      Place a checkmark in the box titled Show Hidden Files (dotfiles).
      Click Go.
      Review the numbers listed under the Perms column in File Manager.
      Directories and folders should be set to 755.
      Executable scripts within the cgi-bin folder must be set to 755.
      Images, media, and text files like HTML should be set to 644.
      Or you check the htaccess file by following this:

      Bad .htaccess, Invalid Command

      In the (dot) htaccess file, you may have added lines that are either worded incorrectly or conflicting with another coding in the file. The best way to troubleshoot this is to comment out the lines in the .htaccess file.

      Always make a copy of the .htaccess file before making any changes to it.
      You can comment out a line in the .htaccess file by adding # to the beginning of that particular line. For example, if the code in the .htaccess file looks like:

      DirectoryIndex default.html
      AddType application/x-httpd-php5 php
      Then, try commenting it out like so:

      DirectoryIndex default.html
      #AddType application/x-httpd-php5 php
      Broken lines and lines that start with php_flags are the most common mistakes. If you cannot determine which line is the problem, then comment out every line.

      usually, the problem come from the line whit the jpg, png, in the code tray to comment this line like so (add # in front of the code line ) and then save
      go to your library and tray to upload a picture

    When I upload a image, it is copied to the right folder. But I can’t see it in the library and it gives a error message (error, try again later).

    When I select a specifiec month in the library, I can see the images from that month, but when I do not select a specific month, I only see one blank square.

    When I select the list view I see all images, but also a few empty thumnails that says „no title“. I can’t view, delete or whatever these.

    I tried deactivating all plugins, I use the standard theme (twenty seventeen), I tried suggestions above. Noting helps.

      500 Error is related to your .htaccess / php.ini file i think you were using a cdn with wp rocket because it have that problem when you do changing directly from ftp and editing files directly like that. try to disable it, delete everything on your htaccess except the part of wp by default than retry again and activate your plugin again.

    The explanation here on this page is trying to shoot a tiny bird with a cannonball.
    It’s quite simple to fix the problem of image upload error in WP! Just DO NOT use any special or foreign language characters in the file names! and keep them short. This is the 101 of computer file naming protocol anyway and resolves the most cryptic of problems.
    Most times, the best solution is the simplest solution.
