 * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/downloadable-item/)
 * I am trying to add the file to download after customers bought it at 0$.
    I’ve
   put the item downloadable but i cannot get the file to upload getting HTTP error.
   I have higher max file size 512 MB and the file is 300+
 * I’ve looked at many posts about it and added all fixes possible but i’m still
   getting that error.
 * Anyone who have many downloadable items can tell me how do i add it?
 * I have the file in .zip on the desktop.
 * I am hosting it myself from OVH server.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@unitedgamerz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/unitedgamerz/)
 * When I visited that link: [https://unitedgamerz.net/http-error/](https://unitedgamerz.net/http-error/)
   it asked me to select a security certificate, and upon proceeding forward, I 
   saw an error page like this: [https://cld.wthms.co/G1h5Pe](https://cld.wthms.co/G1h5Pe)
 * Can you share screenshots of the error for me please? I recommend [https://snag.gy](https://snag.gy)
   for easily sharing screenshots – please follow the instructions on the page, 
   then paste the URL in this thread, and reply to us. It works with Chrome, Firefox
   and Edge.

 * humm probably [@harishanker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harishanker/)
   was in maintenance, but it work perfectly. Sadly i deleted the pics from my pc
   since i had them on this post.
 * But the pictures show only
 * HTTP Error.
 * Also i’ve readed it say the link should be encoded. Does the media file uploaded
   automatically encode the link? That is IF i am able to upload it in the media
   library.

 * Hi [@unitedgamerz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/unitedgamerz/)!
 * I tried again, and this time, I was able to load the page with the screenshots.
 * The HTTP errors may be cause due to a lot of reasons. Increasing the WordPress
   memory may not be able to fix it always. You might want to look at your PHP Error
   logs to see if there are any errors corresponding to the image upload attempts.
   It might also help to reach out to your web host’s support about this – they 
   should be able to help you with this.
 * In addition, you might want to try out some of the steps listed here to try and
   fix the problem: [https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-http-image-upload-error-in-wordpress/](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-http-image-upload-error-in-wordpress/)
 * Let us know how that went.

 * I have nothing related to the image in the logs.
 * I’ve tried all things from your link and it still does it.
 * Also i am hosting the site myself from a rented OVH computer.

 * Hi [@unitedgamerz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/unitedgamerz/) –
 * There are a number of things that could lead to a HTTP error when you are trying
   to upload files using the WordPress media uploader. The HTTP error is a rather
   generic error.
 * This sounds like it’s likely a configuration problem with the OHV server you’re
   using and I would recommend you reach out to their support for assistance.

 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to go ahead and mark 
   this thread as resolved. If you have any other questions please feel free to

 * Howdy
 * Hope you are all well.
 * Do you perhaps know if the following is possible?
 * If you want to add a file to a downloadable item in WooCommerce after a customer
   has bought the item, will they automatically find the new added file in their
   download history when they go to that item they bought ? Hope this makes sense?
 * Kind regards
    Lizel
