Title: http error Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # http error * Resolved [scarletleonard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scarletleonard/) * (@scarletleonard) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-57/) * Yes there are numerous threads on this, I’ve gone through every one of them over the past couple of days but nothing works. * I originally set my site up, got it looking exactly as I wanted it, was happily uploading images then suddenly I got struck with an http error. Looked around tried a few things; – double and triple check permissions – deactivated plugins, deactivated my theme – wiped the lot and started again from a clean install – Then I thought I had it nailed and jetpack and my theme weren’t behaving together.– Another fresh install – nothing on it, clean out the box http error – scoured the forums tried every .htaccess modification going, * So it wasn’t my theme, it wasn’t a plugin and it isn’t the server because the other 2 wp sites on there work fine. (both running the same version of WP the only difference is they were upgraded to 4.1 rather than being clean from it.) – found a timer modification, no effect – wiped clean and started again loaded jetpack and my theme before doing anything else this time. – first image uploaded fine, second ok – third image, nope – 4th and 5th worked but the last one didn’t.– I even tried changing the library order even though I wasn’t using the offending plugin for this fix. * I know I can ftp the images in (looks like I might have to) but the blog on my last site was manual (full on working direct in the database), I wanted a CMS that did it all. (which I thought this did.) * So if it isn’t the plugins theme or the server what’s the problem?

Some are jpg some are png. I have a folder of about 20 images that I have been trying to get on, sometimes they all fail, sometimes 5 or six, sometimes one. Doesn’t matter if I bulk upload or do them as single images. It’s never the same ones that fail or succeed either so it’s not a corrupt file issue. * Thread Starter [scarletleonard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scarletleonard/) * (@scarletleonard) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-57/#post-5698453) * Fixed * Husband (php developer) on the case, said there were no reported errors server side (images weren’t making it that far) One email sent off to our server provider. * Up shot was it wasn’t anything other than my account linking me to the server wasn’t displaying as root at their end. (but was for us.) * So no actual errors anywhere. No one knows how my account changed but everything has been reset and everything is working normally now.
