Error when uploading JPG files over 2MB

Heyo,

I’ve already spoken to my host about this issue and we’ve concluded that this is a problem on the WordPress end not the host as the files are successfully uploading to the server — they’re just not displaying.

So the issue is this. Any JPG file larger than 2MB will upload to the server but will not be acknowledged by WordPress. In fact, it kicks back an error saying that the file can not be uploaded try again later. The host saw nothing reported in the error log and we both confirmed that the files are being uploaded successfully.

I went ahead and reinstalled the installation and nothing has changed. The only plugins installed are Akismet, Disqus and Jetpack. I did have Media Tools plugin installed at one time but that has since been deactivated nearly three WP updates ago (like Billie Holiday).

Uploading via the browser will hang on media-new.php with a white page without redirecting back to the media library.

There is no issues with the JSON/Jquery because no other file type will deliver these errors and JPGs under 2MB upload just fine.

I am completely at a loss as to why this is happening. I have not been able to successfully run the blog since I started having this issue with large JPG uploads.

TL;DR

• Uploading JPG files over 2MB produces error despite uploading to the server without issue.
• Media-new.php hangs and will not redirect to library. Refreshing simply reuploads the image.
• Thumbnails are inaccessible and can not be added to posts
• YET if you access the files ‘Edit Media’ page, the image will display
• ?????
• No Profit
