media upload

    Just in the past 10 days I have been unable to upload audio media files to my site. After a few seconds I receive an “HTTP Error” message. I am able to upload image media files. I also tried to upload via ftp and, whilst this appeared to be successful in my hosting control panel, I could not find the files on my Dashboard
    I am a novice and probably not able to start modifying php files or the like. However, as I don’t appear to have changed anything I am unsure as to why this error has occurred in the first place.

    I’m having the same issue! I’m running a podcast on my website and have successfully uploaded the first four episodes. The fifth will not upload, possible something to do with the new version of WP which was installed in between the 4th and 5th episodes. Would like to get a fix as the podcast is overdue already.

    Nothing to do with size as far as I know, as I have an upload limit of 100MB and the mp3 is only 75MB.

    For reasons I do not understand, as I didn’t change anything, some audio files started uploading the next time I tried. On 1 or 2 occasions I received the same HTTP error, but in general the problem is resolved.

    My wife often tells me to switch the computer off for a while as it is “tired”.

    I feel like our wives should get together and discuss their common interests.

    I regret to say the error has returned. I haven’t changed anything. What is happening?

    I have found a workaround. Upload the file onto your host server, then use the plugin “Add To Server” to permit WordPress to see it. All works fine, though I don’t understand the intermittent fault in the basic WordPress software.
