 * Hi,
 * Please try following suggestions:
    -  Change PHP version to PHP 5.5. You will need to contact your Web Hosting 
      provider for it.
       Make sure you have 755 permission to wp-content/uploads.
      Try to increase memory from wp-config.php Try to increase upload size.
 * Hope that helps.
    Thanks,

 * Thanks for the quick response.
 * This solution seems a bit excessive? I’ve never had issues before uploading images,
   it seems to be a recent error (with the last few days)
 * Are you sure it doesn’t have something to do with the Flash Player plug in system?
   I’m reading elsewhere this is a possibility. Any ideas on that being the main
   issue?
 * To be quite honest, I’m trying to exhaust all other options so I don’t have to
   contact Godaddy.
