Memory error at photo upload (unspecified in standard uploader)

    The old one-file uploader returns “Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 31457280) (tried to allocate 1037 bytes) in /homepages/33/d*NUMBER*/htdocs/*mywebsite*/wp-includes/media.php on line 2130”

    (** is changed for privacy reasons 😉 )

    So:

    (1) The file size is not over 8MB (which is supposed to be maximum file size), why is this happening and do you know a fix/workaround?

    (2) The standard uploader only shows a “something went wrong try later” message, this should definitely be changed and be more specific to give users the possibility to actually know and describe their problem 😉

    Several bug reports for these problems exist. Suggested workarounds are raising PHP file upload and memory limit sizes in php.ini.

    Haven’t tried yet, will report if it helps.

    The error message problem is definitely still an issue. An appropriate error message should link to an explanation of limits and how to change them (but there is a bug report for that as well).
