 * I tried looking around but can’t figure out why my image upload is giving me 
   http error but the regular media upload works fine

 * checked again and the permissions made it work. For anyone else reading this 
   I am hosted on godaddy shared hosting and have had previous issues that the server
   isn’t considered owner on the files and folders. Called them up and they told
   me they can’t change that

 * I am also using GoDaddy and I am having this issue.
 * Can you please specify what file you updated the permissions on?
 * Thank you.

 * Sadly that didn’t work for me. Is there anything to refresh or reload after?

 * This worked for me…
 * If you’re using default permalinks, please try going to Settings > Permalinks
   and choosing another option.
 * Thanks.

 * I can’t believe I’m posting this but I went to permalinks settings and re-set
   to the Post name option and it corrected the problem for me immediately. I can
   now upload images – no problems, no errors. After hours of searching – go figure!
   It would help if someone from nextGen would acknowledge this problem and provide
   this quick fix!
