* I experienced an “html error” when trying to upload media to the gallery. I disabled
the Wordfence plugin and then files uploaded perfectly. Wordfence ver 7.1.20,
WordPress ver 5.0.3.

* Hi [@gusdoyle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gusdoyle/),
* This seems to be caused by running low on memory. Can you let me know how much
memory your host allocates to your instance?
* It could also be that Wordfence is blocking the upload, so you can also check
Wordfnece -> Tools -> Live Traffic, to see if that’s the case.
