When it arises, a user sees the HTTP error message displayed next to the name of the file they\u2019ve been trying to upload. Since you\u2019ve landed on this page, you must be looking for ways to fix this issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that there are quite a few solutions, and we discuss some of them in this post. First, though, let\u2019s talk about why you see this error at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Causes the WordPress HTTP Error?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a generic error that occurs when your image or video does not meet the technical requirements of the WordPress media library. The latter was created to make things simple for users to manage their online media. However, the library requires strict adherence to its specifications. Otherwise, it kicks back an error while you are uploading a file.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The http error is hard to diagnose because WordPress can, in general, be vague about what causes problems. The http error itself does not always tell you exactly why the uploading of a photo or video has suddenly stopped. There can be multiple explanations, including these:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A file name with invalid characters<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An excessively large file size\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An unsupported file format.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever the reason, there are some easy fixes available. Let\u2019s look into these next.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>7 Methods to Fix the WordPress http Error<\/h2>\n<h3><b>Fix #1: Clear Your Browser Cache<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way to fix the http error in WordPress is to refresh the page or <a href=\"https:\/\/macpaw.com\/how-to\/clear-cache-on-mac\">clear your browser cache<\/a>. Whenever you upload new files to a server, problems can arise both on your end and on the server side. You need to ensure that any conflicting cache memory or connection issues are removed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10655 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16163802\/mozilla-300x286.png\" alt=\"Clear browser history in Mozilla FF\" width=\"300\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16163802\/mozilla-300x286.png 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16163802\/mozilla.png 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do this, access your browser settings and clear all browsing history and data. How you do that depends on a specific page viewer. The screenshot above shows the corresponding dialog window for Mozilla Firefox.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fix #2: Open a Different Browser<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many browsers available for free. Chances are one of them will not generate the same error. So if you cannot upload media in one browser, try a different one and see if that solves the problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fix #3: Change the File Size<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress limits the maximum size of files you can add to the media library. You could be getting the http error when uploading an image or video because its size can be outside the 2MB to 150MB range.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best thing you can do is resize your photo or video using compression software like WinRaR or an online tool like tinypng.com.

Visit the <\/span><b>Plugins <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">section in your WordPress dashboard and type in something like \u201ccompress pictures.\u201d You\u2019ll see a lot of valuable tools like the ones in this screenshot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10659 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16164859\/wp-plugins.png\" alt=\"WP Plugins for Image Optimization\" width=\"512\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16164859\/wp-plugins.png 512w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16164859\/wp-plugins-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><a href=\"#bonus_section_2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonus Section #2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you will find a rundown of some noteworthy WordPress plugins for image size reduction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fix #4: Change the File Name<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress won\u2019t let you rename a file that you have already uploaded. That said, you can always rename the original file and then try to upload it again. Avoid special characters (#, $, !, ~, *, etc.) that violate the WordPress file naming convention. Be sure to only use letters, numbers, and a hyphen if you need to. Something like &#8220;happy-file-1.jpg&#8221; works well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fix #5: Wait a Few Minutes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress can sometimes behave unpredictably if you are performing a lot of updates or uploads at once. If you continue to get the WordPress http error, try stopping and waiting for a few minutes. The problem could be on the server side. Waiting allows the server to reset its own cache. Try uploading your images after about 3-5 minutes and see if that does the trick.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fix #6: Deactivate Plugins<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most plugins are designed by independent people using open-source software. These plugins can make your website more functional. Yet, they might not have been developed by professional companies that know how to resolve cross-platform conflicts. If you are still experiencing the http error, try deactivating all the plugins on your WordPress site temporarily.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Log into your admin area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select <\/span><b>Plugins <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on the left.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select the plugins you want to deactivate by ticking the corresponding checkboxes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the dropdown menu under <\/span><b>Plugins <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at the top of the page and select the <\/span><b>Deactivate <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">option.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click the <\/span><b>Apply <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">button.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10660 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16165029\/deactivate-plugins.png\" alt=\"Try deactivating your plugins temporarily\" width=\"512\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16165029\/deactivate-plugins.png 512w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16165029\/deactivate-plugins-300x191.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This should remove any conflicts that could be interrupting your uploads. If this solution works, be sure to re-activate your plugins after you are done uploading your new media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fix #7: Contact Your Hosting Provider<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a last resort, you may want to contact your WordPress hosting provider. The problem might be on their side. For example, they might have just rolled out an update precisely at the moment you were trying to upload an image. That prevented the server from responding in time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10644\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16162052\/how-to-fix-wordpress-http-error-main-methods-1024x448.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16162052\/how-to-fix-wordpress-http-error-main-methods-1024x448.png 1024w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16162052\/how-to-fix-wordpress-http-error-main-methods-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16162052\/how-to-fix-wordpress-http-error-main-methods-768x336.png 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/newblog.psd2html.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/16162052\/how-to-fix-wordpress-http-error-main-methods.png 1947w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This wraps it up.
