 * Hi, I have been struggling for a while to upload any media to my WordPress site
   and just get an Http error. I have read other threads, blogs and post and despite
   trying all manner of solutions, nothing seems to work. I am not particularly 
   tech-savvy but even following step-by-step instructions, nothing seems to be 
   working.
 * I have deactivated my plugins and theme, and all versions are up to date. My 
   site is hosted through GoDaddy and I have been in contact with them, who assure
   me the issue is not at their end.
 * If anyone has ANY idea how to resolve this, I would be very grateful as it has
   been about 3 months since I have been able to post any pictures!
 * Thanks.

 * Hey clairelou,
 * It seems your media file is bigger in size, and possibly the size of media file
   you’re uploading is not allowed from your server. Please try once uploading an
   image of less that 100kb and see if it’s working fine. If the less than 100kb
   file is uploading properly then might be possible, that you server has a limit
   of media upload.

 * Try to installing the “Default to GD” plugin which “Sets GD as default WP_Image_Editor
   class.”
 * The plugin is (currently) available here:

 * Hi,
    Thanks for your suggestions but unfortunately they don’t work either. Any
   other ideas?
 * Having read lots of other threads, this seems to be a common issue – is there
   no fix which WP can do to stop this happening?
 * Thanks.

 * If Godaddy gives you access to your server error logs, check those for additional
   error information.
 * [Turn on debugging and logging ](https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress)
   and see if that gives you any additional information.
