 * I’ve been hit by the dreaded HTTP error when uploading media.
    I’ve tried clearing
   my cache, and uploading on multiple browsers (Safari and Chrome), but no luck.
   As far as I can tell, Flash is up to date on both browsers. I’ve tried uploading
   from within post and from dashboard. Browser uploader isn’t working either; browser
   thinks really hard, gets up to about 90% uploaded (at least on Chrome, Safari
   doesn’t tell me what %), and goes blank. The images are about 7mb or less, which
   I’ve been uploading just fine up until now (my site’s only a few months old).
   I’m hosted on Bluehost. I’ve tried re-installing 4.2.4, which I’ve seen some 
   people do. No luck.
 * Just now I’ve tried uploading smaller files and it has worked, but I really don’t
   feel like the original files should be too much for it to handle. Suggestions?

 * Hi,
 * Ask Bluehost what is your max file upload limit. It looks like you reached that.

 * This is an issue with hosting server. Most likely your hosting provider has set
   low limit to upload images/files via PHP.

 * Double checked with my host and my max file upload is 50 MB, so it’s not that.
   Any other thoughts?

 * If you are unable to upload large image, this should be related to PHP limits
   set by your host. Unfortunately only your host can help and fix the issue.

 * it could also be a timeout on the server
 * one thing you can for the time being is upload the files to teh server using 
   FTP or your File manager and then try the plugin ‘Add From Server” (still works
   though is is getting a little old…)
