Image Upload Error after Update to 4.2.2

Hey guys,

Has anyone been able to find a reliable fix for this issue; Image upload failing in wordpress 4.2.2?

I have been able to upload one image but no others – I keep getting http error when I try to upload or they just load for ages and then obviously……never finish loading.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Update from my post earlier on today about upload issue.

I just my hosting provider GoDaddy support and informed them of the error I was getting and they have fixed the issue.

I’m totally stranded. Tried all the fixes suggested above as well as tried getting my host involved, still unable to upload photos onto pages or posts using WP 4.2.2 Help! ??

where do you go to change permissions?

I had the same problem and (after trying all attempts indicated) I solved simply by going to SETTINGS / MEDIA where there is a field that indicates the directory to save images.
It was enough to correct it with the default settings, in general:
wp-contents / uploads

“The simplest solution is always the best.”

I don’t know why they have marked this issue as “resolved” — it seems far from resolved for most people. PHP 5.5 did not work, nor changing permissions for 755, and Settings/Media were already at default. Web host recommended a plug-in that resizes images — that did not work either.

Here is a link to my site, as requested below:

Like ClaireGK, I am totally stranded. If anyone has any thoughts, please help. Many thanks in advance.

WPML media plugin caused the same error after upgrade to 4.2.2. on my site.

After updating MPML the error was fixed!!

So the only workaround to this problem I have found is to use wordpress on my Ipad or iphone. I don’t know why it works but it does.

@xmarkssth
try deleting plugin cache (flash uploader) in your browsers since flash does not exist on ipads.
and / or
deleting wp-content/cache/”all-folders”

I’m a bit embarrassed to come back since I was such an angerball — but I hired a web developer to help sleuth out the problem. She went thru 99 changes and finally found out the issue was that WordPress didn’t like my file name! I had an apostrophe in the file name, and once we removed that, I could upload. GAH! A more descriptive error message, other than “HTTP Error,” would be helpful!

I went through all the described possible solutions, non of it worked.
I was all the way setting up a clients installation with a self styled theme. From one minute to the other the image uploading wasn’t possible anymore.
I’m not very keen on setting up three days of work from scratch here.

Here is a screenshot of the Error

That roughly translate to “There was an error when uploading. Please try again later.”
I didn’t got that message in 10 years of wordpress. Not a very specific description of an error. WP 4.2.2 fresh on a self hosted server running the latest PHP as suggested.

I’ve tried every solution above, and more – still get the http Error when trying to upload – not resolved for me ??

I’ve two freshen LAMP installation:
pc A: Debian 7, PHP 5.4.41, WordPress 4.2.2
pc B: Debian 8, PHP 5.6.9, WordPress 4.2.2

When I try to upload an image in WordPress via Media->AddNew (media-new.php):
on pc A OK
on pc B I’ve got the error ‘The uploaded file was only partially uploaded’

I put an ‘error_log’ in wp-admin/media-new.php at line 27 and I verify that the $_POST variable is empty:

error_log('empty($_POST)=' . var_export(empty($_POST),true));
if ( $_POST ) {
    $location = 'upload.php';
    if ( isset($_POST['html-upload']) && !empty($_FILES) ) {

Is a PHP problem?

Solution for me:
Logged in to PHPmyAdmin and started a repair of all SQL tables.
Voilà.

For me, it was my theme (vantage pro) that was causing the issue (i have bluehost).
