 * Latest version of what?
 * Here’s a list of http codes. Which one are you seeing?

 * You are absolutely correct. My sincerest apologies.
 * Perhaps making a screenshot for us will help us to visually see what you are 
   seeing.
 * What type if image are you attempting to upload?
    Have you tried uploading an
   image of a different file extension?

 * Thank you WP Ranger & Josh…
 * I switched to the latest version of WP to 3.8 thinking that it will fix the ‘
   Http Error’ when uploading an image but It’s still the same.
    I’m not really 
   savvy of understanding codes.
 * Im trying to upload a jpeg photo, 1500 pixels.
    Do you mean I should try using
   like a pdf or png file instead of jpeg? I dont know how to send the screenshot
   to you. If i give you the link, it will just show you the post editor but not
   the upload screen. 🙁 thank you

 * My best guess is that your problem is incorrectly set file permissions on your
   uploads directory. Visit this page:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions#Using_an_FTP_Client](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions#Using_an_FTP_Client)
 * Read the instructions there and then navigate to wp-content in your WordPress
   installation. Select uploads and set file permissions as 644 for files and 755
   for directories. Make sure you do it recursively.

 * I don’t see a 644 but 744 and 755 only. Where do i find 644?

 * Exactly.
    Are you able to successfully upload other image file extensions? Such
   as .png, .jpg or .gif?
