 * Hi
 * I’m having a (new issue) with uploading media images which are over 100KB.
 * I receive a “HTTP error”. I have received this error before, but usually a quick
   run through photoshop and SaveAsWeb fixes it. But now I am getting it on all 
   images over 100KB
 * I don’t know much about the upload process, but when I attempt a larger image
   2-4mb it looks like it uploads OK, but the problem comes when it does the ‘crunching’
 * I do not think it is a permission issue as smaller images uploaded OK. I have
   also tried increasing the PHP max file size and increasing the memory allocation
   in wp-config, all will no success
 * As this is a newly introduced error, I can only suspect a dodgy plugin
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks

 * Edit the .htaccess file and add below code in it:
 * <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </IfModule
   >
 * Change the permissions of upload folder to 755.
    Then Go to your WordPress Admin
   then Settings – Misc. Set ‘Store uploads in this folder’ to: wp-content/uploads
   and leave Full URL path to files blank.

 * Thanks, but I’m running on IIS :/
 * I have just copied the site and db to another server for testing – works fine
   on there. So the problem can’t be in the site. But perhaps with the website settings.
   Other websites on this server are working OK. So gotta be related to this individual
   sites settings…
