Can't upload images. HTTP Error.

Found a very similar topic with several others with the exact same problem:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/creating-new-gallery-and-uploading-images-issue

However, the answer to change permalink structure, is not possible for me as the site uses “Day and Name” permalink structure and the site is too large to make such a huge change. Hundreds of blog posts and news would get new urls. Would be a 404-nightmare. ??

@angelpure, the suggestion to change the permalinks is valid only for those who currently use the default structure. If it were not so, it would be not suggested.
And this is one of the reasons why everyone should open its own topic, to avoid confusion to who needs help and also to who wants to help. So, forget the other topic.
The first thing you have to try is this:
Deactivate all plugins (including NextGEN Gallery), clear your browser cache and reload your site. Re-activate NextGEN Gallery only and try uploading again.
If doesn’t work, try temporarily switching to the WordPress default theme, and try uploading again.

Thank you @tizz ?? As @tizz mentioned, you’d only need to update permalinks if you were using the default permalinks. Please keep us posted on your results from deactivating the other plugins and switching your theme. If both of those actions produce no solution, please post your server settings found under Gallery > Overview > server settings.

The site uses 20 or so plugins. Plugins for showing events, news, menus etc. Disabling them all is not possible on such a big site. Either the plugin works with the others (like it did before) or we have to replace it.

I think it’s suspicious that in the other guys thread (as mentioned above) he says that he installed NextGen Gallery on new installations of WP and still couldn’t get it to work… Is it impossible that there is a NextGen Gallery and WP 4.0 compatibility issue?

@angelpure – if there were a compatibility issue with WordPress 4.0, we ourselves wouldn’t even be able to run NextGEN Gallery with the latest version of WordPress. So there isn’t a conflict there. It’s likely that there is a conflict with one of your plugins. With Open Source software, where several aspects of your site are being managed and updated by different developers, updates can at times not be compatible. Sometimes there can be an issue with uploads if the permalinks are set to default, insufficient server settings (i.e. outdated MySQL/PHP, memory_limit set too low, file write permissions set too low). Nothing suspicious @angelpure, sometimes a small tweak can either make/break an element of your site. It’s just the world of web development/management. ??

Word. ??

I will look into this on a dev server.
Thanks for your help so far!

No problem, anytime! ??
