 * When trying to upload a Full-Size Replace I only see a spinning animation and
   nothing happens.
 * The image size of the full-size replace is way under the 50MB maximum.
 * What am I doing wrong?

 * It might be because the operation takes too long (often the case if you use some
   image optimizer) and PHP decides to cancel the process.
 * Did you check your PHP error logs? The answer should be in there.

 * Should be available at your hosting service dashboard or somewhere else. You 
   should learn where to find this file, how to read it, and basic debugging otherwise
   taking care of a WordPress install is going to be challenging. It worth spending
   a few hours 🙂

 * No, this is not resolved. No error in PHP logs.

 * Can I access you install? Send me your info/credentials at support(at)meow.fr
   and I will check.

 * Thanks for sharing with me your credentials.
 * Indeed, there is an error occurring while uploading the file. The request gets“
   broken” and your website returns a 404.
 * This error must be logged somewhere… Without knowing what the error is or where
   it breaks, it’s impossible to debug more than this unfortunately…
 * Can you ask your hosting service for the logs?

 * It also breaks in the Media Manager when uploading a file (if you want to see
   the error happening somewhere else, it’s not linked to a specific screen). The
   retina creation gets halted.

 * [@tigroumeow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tigroumeow/) Thank you so much
   for supporting your user. But please do not request that access again in these
   forums. That is something that is actively discouraged and doing that repeatedly
   can get you into trouble here.

 * I know you are just looking to provide support and I get that. But unless you
   are prepared to get liability insurance then asking for and getting that level
   of access is just going way too far. It’s not appropriate to do that. If you 
   are going to do that then please consider supporting your users elsewhere and
   not in these forums.
 * Ask for data, try to replicate the problem, suggest things, make a custom plugin
   to log your real plugin’s output. But do not ask for that access again here please.

 * Understood Jan, to be honest I don’t like accessing people install directly neither.
   But mostly because it takes me a long time… but true, if I happen to break the
   install it can’t be good. However I am not sure how I would be able to help many
   people in that case. People aren’t even able to find their PHP error logs most
   of the time so asking them to debug a plugin and even looking at Chrome Developer
   console is hard.
 * Anyway, will try 😉
