 * Hi,
 * Since installing 5.2 i have trouble uploading files larger than 2mo, although
   this has been working perfectly on my site for many years.
    The exact error in
   the console is: “TypeError: Cannot read property ‘replace’ of null at uploadSuccess”
   It looks like the ID of the uploaded file is not returned and the rest of the
   upload process crashes.
 * I already tried 100 things like upgrading php version, increasing the memory,
   and everything suggested here: [https://www.wpoven.com/blog/http-error-in-wordpress-when-uploading-images-and-its-fix/](https://www.wpoven.com/blog/http-error-in-wordpress-when-uploading-images-and-its-fix/)
   
   It just doesn’t work.
 * Any idea ?
    Thanks

 * HTTP error is different from what you’re experiencing. I think you may have a
   plugin conflict. Have you tried disabling plugins to see if any one of them is
   causing this issue?

 * It’s possible an update to 5.2 corrupted some files. What you would need to do
   is manually replace core WP files via FTP or cPanel File Manager.
 * You want to make sure to make a backup before making any changes.

 * Good idea, thanks.
    I tried, but it didn’t work, still the same error.
 * The async-upload.php ajax call returns with a 200 status, but it does not return
   the ID of the new media… which cause the javascript to crash.
 * Note that for a smaller PDF file, it works.
    To me it looks like a server problem
   with the uploaded file, but i just cannot figure out what is going on, and how
   to solve it…

 * Create a file called info.php in the public_html directory. Add this inside:
   `
   <?php phpinfo(); ?>`
 * Save, then load the file in the browser. It should display your PHP information.
 * Check these 2 values:
    - upload_max_filesize
    - post_max_size
 * If they are 2 MB, you should increase these values to something larger. You’ll
   need to check with your host on how to customize PHP settings.

 * Both are 128M.
    Any idea of where i should look to debug what crashes in the 
   upload process ?

 * Your PHP error log should have some errors if relevant. cPanel hosting usually
   places it inside public_html called php_errors.
 * You should also enable WordPress debugging to see if debug.log has any relevant
   errors. Add this to your wp-config.php, replacing existing `define( 'WP_DEBUG',
   false );`
 *     ```
       // Enable WP_DEBUG mode
       define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
   
       // Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
       define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
   
       // Disable display of errors and warnings
       define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
       @ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
   
       // Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
       define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
       ```
   
 * Which version of PHP do you have?

 * My PHP version is 7.3.
    I tried all the things you suggested, and still no result,
   and no debug file generated. I tried to install a brand new and empty version
   of WordPress in a subdirectory, and i still have the same problem ! So i guess
   it must be a server problem, and i wrote a request to the support of my web hosting
   company, but still no answer from them… Looks like i’m stuck… 😉
