 * Ever since I downloaded WP 3.9.1, when I try and upload a photo it gives me a
   red error message in the media uploader screen. Then when I close out of it, 
   the dashboard is gone completely and all it says on my screen is error. My host
   GoDaddy is seeing nothing wrong. My website comes back about 20 to 40 minutes
   later but I still can’t upload photos. Since food porn is half of my website,
   please help!

 * Please post the exact error you are receiving during media upload, as well as
   the error you see when you close the uploader

 * The problem is solved now. I read in other threads that deactivating and then
   reactivating my plug ins might help, so I went in and did that and it resolved
   the issue. It’s a pain that it happened though, I hope it doesn’t do that with
   every Word Press update!

 * Glad that worked out, although it would probably be a good ides to update those
   plugins that need it also.

 * Thanks! I do update the plugins whenever I see the notification that they need
   it. Not sure what happened here but glad it is resolved!
