In reply to: HTTP error when uploading some mediaSorry I could still do with some help here. The hosting company have tried various options and not succeeded.
They have directed me to this thread which is what I think they were using themselves and they have tried various tweaks but it’s not worked yet.
They have directed me to this quote:
This might work. All the advice to update my htaccess was not helping. I run my blog on a windows server. This is how I fixed this HTTP error problem.
With in your Dashboard go to Settings and then Miscellaneous Setting.
For some reason my hosting site automatically added this to the Store upload files path.
(/home/users/web/b2284/ipw.livingproofbc/nt/blog/wp-content/uploads)
I deleted it all and replaced it with
wp-content/uploads (just as recommend.) (Also make sure you have a uploads file in your wp-content folder)
Now IT WORKS!
This only took me 8 hours of tweaking to get it to work. Hope this works for you.
However in WordPress 4.5.3 there is no longer a “Miscellaneous Setting” option in “Settings”. How can I check this in WordPress 4.5.3? (the original post was 6 years old)

In reply to: HTTP error when uploading some mediaTHanks have asked them to do so and am liaising with them via their support channels.
I now have a strange situation where every time I upload something I am still getting HTTP error; and every time they upload the same files it is working fine for them! Thankfully they’ve not given up on me and are still trying!

In reply to: HTTP error when uploading some mediaThanks for the reply, though it took me a while to act on it.
I checked with the host who confirms that there are no problems with disk space, so I’m back to square one.
They did make a suggestion that I create a php.ini file to increase the spaace but – despite them sending me a link relating to this – I think it’s beyond my coding capability

In reply to: HTTP error when uploading some mediaThanks for your reply.
Firstly the error log is totally empty. I can’t work out if that means there are no errors (which sounds unlikely to me) or whether the fact that the error log is empty is itself an error.
However I just experimented some more and successfully uploaded a few smaller files; but then got the HTTP error again when I tried to upload a file of 2MB. So maybe file size is the issue after all. Is it possible that the system isn’t quite set up correctly to accept larger files?
In “upload media” it says “maximum upload file size 8MB” which suggests 2MB files should be OK; but is it possible that there’s some other setting somewhere that might not be set up correctly?
Finally I may need some help running the command df -h. I know I’ve done these type of commands in the past but I just cannot for the life of me remember which program I use to type it in and what syntax I use to do this. Sorry, I’m just a bit inexperienced here.

In reply to: HTTP error when uploading some mediaThanks for that reply.
I checked wp-content/uploaded. None of the files from the last 2-3 days that caused HTTP errors are there.
I’m afraid I have no idea at all what gd, php-gd or imagemagick are, so I may need some more advice here if that’s possible.

In reply to: HTTP error when uploading some mediaAs an aside, as this may be linked in, it took me about 10 tries to successfully install WordPress 4.5.3 – the automatic installation kept freezing mid-way through.

In reply to: Crashed midway through updating, needs reinstalling, need help!Brilliant, thank you for taking the time to explain that.
It’s what I was thinking I would do anyway, but it gives me so much confidence hearing it confirmed by somebody who knows what they are talking about!
Currently backing everything up – will give it a go when that’s complete

In reply to: Crashed midway through updating, needs reinstalling, need help!I do have FTP access, yes.
But when I say I am least confident about installation, that means I don’t really know which files are the ones I actually need to upload.
Is it *all* of the files from the zipped 4.2.2 download at https://wordpress.org/download/?

In reply to: How to fix a broken RSS feed: appears to be due to « characterThanks. I’ve made the change – nothing has changed yet but I’m assuming it will take a few hours for the change to register.

In reply to: "Add media" not workingTried the first two
My administrator has, I believe, tried the third – I don’t have FTP access myself over our networksNot too sure what the fourth one involves; I don’t know how to upload folders (I just use the usual interface) – how do I do that?

In reply to: "Add media" not workingI was hoping somebody would have an idea, but nobody seems to know what’s going on. Thanks for the reply anyway though!
