 * I received this error and it frustrated me to no end but I fixed it!
 * The issue is for users other than admins (including Authors) in adding and uploading
   media to a post. It was solved by using the ‘User Role Editor’ plugin to grant
   extra access to those roles.

 * Under the ‘Pages’ tab of the ‘User Role Editor’ plugin, allow
    edit_others_pages
   edit_published_pages
 * Then it should all work!
