¿Necesitas corregir el error HTTP de subida de imágenes en WordPress?
Este error puede ser particularmente frustrante cuando se está creando contenido en WordPress. Suele producirse al subir una imagen u otros archivos al CMS utilizando la biblioteca de medios integrada de WordPress.
En este artículo, le mostraremos cómo corregir fácilmente el error HTTP de subida de imágenes en WordPress.
¿Qué causa el error HTTP durante la subida de medios en WordPress?
Hay muchas cosas que pueden provocar un error HTTP cuando intenta subir archivos a su sitio web de WordPress utilizando el cargador de medios de WordPress.
Básicamente, WordPress no se ha podido dar cuenta de la causa, y por eso muestra el mensaje genérico ‘Error HTTP’.
Lo frustrante de este error HTTP de WordPress es que no te da ninguna pista acerca de lo que puede haberlo causado. Esto significa que tendrás que probar diferentes soluciones para encontrar la causa y corregir el error.
Dicho esto, echemos un vistazo a cómo diagnosticar y corregir el error HTTP durante la subida de medios en WordPress. No dude en utilizar los enlaces de abajo para omitir a un método específico:
Método 1: Asegúrese de que el error HTTP no es temporal
En primer lugar, debe esperar unos minutos y, a continuación, intentar volver a subir el archivo de imagen a su sitio web de WordPress. Este error se produce a veces debido a un tráfico inusual y a la escasez de recursos del servidor, que se corrigen automáticamente en la mayoría de los servidores de alojamiento de WordPress.
Si esto no funciona, pruebe una o varias de las siguientes opciones:
- Actualice su navegador / explorador o vacíe la memoria caché del mismo.
- Cambia el tamaño y el nombre del archivo y vuelve a subirlo a la biblioteca de medios. Marca / comprueba nuestra lista de plugins de optimización de imágenes para reducir el tamaño de tus archivos.
- Guarda el archivo en otro formato. Por ejemplo, puede cambiar JPEG a PNG utilizando un software de edición de imágenes. Después, vuelva a intentar subir el archivo.
Si siguiendo todos estos pasos sigue apareciendo el error HTTP, entonces el error no es causado por un fallo temporal y definitivamente necesita su atención inmediata.
Método 2: Desactivar todos los plugins de WordPress
Si acabas de instalar un nuevo plugin de WordPress recientemente, puede que sea incompatible con tus otros plugins e interrumpa el proceso de subida de imágenes. Para ver si este es el caso, puedes desactivar todos tus plugins de WordPress.
Si el error HTTP desaparece después de desactivar un plugin de WordPress, entonces puede ser el culpable del error HTTP de subida de imágenes. Puede instalar un plugin alternativo o ponerse en contacto con el desarrollador para obtener soporte.
Para más información, marque / compruebe nuestra guía sobre cómo desactivar fácilmente todos los plugins de WordPress y cómo desactivar plugins cuando el escritorio de WordPress es inaccesible.
Método 3: Aumentar el límite de memoria de WordPress
WordPress está escrito en el idioma de programación PHP. Además, la cantidad de memoria asignada a los distintos procesos PHP viene determinada por el servidor de alojamiento web.
Si la subida de imágenes requiere más memoria PHP de la disponible, es posible que aparezca el error HTTP de subida de imágenes en WordPress.
Para corregir esto, necesita aumentar la memoria que PHP puede utilizar en su servidor.
En primer lugar, deberá acceder a los archivos de su sitio mediante un cliente FTP o la aplicación Administrador de archivos del panel de control de su alojamiento web. A continuación, vaya al directorio raíz y busque el archivo wp-config.php.
A continuación, deberá editar el archivo wp-config.php con un editor de texto y añadirle la siguiente línea de código:
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
Este código aumenta el límite de memoria de WordPress a 256 MB, lo que sería suficiente para corregir cualquier problema de límite de memoria.
Por último, debe guardar o subir el archivo al servidor.
Para obtener más información, consulte nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo aumentar el límite de memoria PHP en WordPress.
Método 4: Cambiar la biblioteca del editor de imágenes utilizada por WordPress
WordPress funciona con PHP, que utiliza dos módulos para gestionar las imágenes. Estos módulos se llaman GD Library e Imagick. WordPress puede utilizar cualquiera de ellos, dependiendo de cuál esté disponible.
Sin embargo, Imagick a menudo tiene problemas de memoria, causando el error HTTP durante la subida de imágenes. Para corregirlo, puede hacer que GD Library sea su editor de imágenes por defecto.
Puede hacerlo simplemente añadiendo este código al archivo functions.php de su tema de WordPress o utilizando WPCode (recomendado):
function wpb_image_editor_default_to_gd( $editors ) {
$gd_editor = 'WP_Image_Editor_GD';
$editors = array_diff( $editors, array( $gd_editor ) );
array_unshift( $editors, $gd_editor );
return $editors;
}
add_filter( 'wp_image_editors', 'wpb_image_editor_default_to_gd' );
Para más detalles, puede consultar nuestra guía sobre cómo añadir código personalizado en WordPress.
Después de añadir este código, puedes volver a intentar subir archivos utilizando el cargador de medios. Si esto no resuelve el problema, puede quitar / eliminar este código y probar otros métodos descritos en este artículo.
Método 5: Utilizar el método .htaccess
Este método le permite controlar cómo Imagick utiliza los recursos del servidor. Muchos proveedores de alojamiento compartido limitan la capacidad de Imagick de utilizar varios subprocesos para un procesamiento de imágenes más rápido. Sin embargo, esto hará que vea el error HTTP al subir imágenes.
Una corrección fácil es añadir el siguiente código en su archivo .htaccess:
SetEnv MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT 1
Este código simplemente limita Imagick a utilizar un único hilo para procesar las imágenes.
Método 6: Actualice su versión de PHP
Si su sitio de WordPress está utilizando una versión obsoleta de PHP, entonces podría desencadenar el error HTTP de subida de imágenes. Esto se debe a que las nuevas versiones de PHP tienen mejoras de rendimiento y generalmente utilizan menos memoria.
Por suerte, es fácil marcar / actualizar la versión PHP de su sitio. Para más detalles, consulte nuestra guía para principiantes sobre cómo actualizar la versión de PHP en WordPress.

You may want to ensure you didn’t change your homepage settings while troubleshooting and have you removed the code to see if that solved the missing content?

Hi,
thanks for this guide. Unfortunately, all these ideas did not work for me. Today, in an attempt to remove the “website is on partially safe” SSL certificate message, I used “Search and Replace” plugin to search my databases for “http” and changed those to “https”. That’s the only thing I could relate to this error, but since I am no expert on this, I don’t know how and if I can fix this or how I can undo these changes. Any help?
WPBeginner Support says
For your site having mixed content you would want to take a look at our SSL issues article rather than this one: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-common-ssl-issues-in-wordpress-beginners-guide/

Hi there,
Option 3 is working for me! Thank you so much this was driving me insane!!!
Alissa says
Before I tried any of these solutions. I tried logging out of WordPress and logging back in, and suddenly I stopped getting the error message. So, you might want to try that first.
Isla S says
I’ve noticed that this keeps happening to me with files that contain apostrophes in the filename. When I remove it, they upload fine
Perhaps try to remove the ‘ ?
Wanda says
THANK YOU! Removing the ‘ worked for me
Andy says
Thank you! This was driving me crazy, had been trying to solve this for a friend for days
Marek says
No. 3 works, thanks.
Christina says
None of these worked for me. After some more researching, I found that putting this bit of code at the bottom of the .htaccess worked for me:
# Exclude the file upload and WP CRON scripts from authentication
Satisfy Any
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from none
Don’t forget to back up your .htaccess file first just in case!
Savi Huang says
None worked. Pls help!

Number 4 worked for me!!! Thanks so much!

Please can will this solutions work on a localhost installation of wordpress?

These methods should work with localhost, the memory limit may need to be modified using the program for your server such as MAMP or WAMP

For me, the issue was a series of pictures with an apostrophe in the title. Renamed and it worked fine.
Tom Jaggard says
I need help resolving the HTTP error when uploading large files. Someone else created my site with an upload size limit of 64Mb. I am trying to upload audio files that are sometimes larger than 64Mb. I added a plug-in (Upload Max File Size) to change my max upload size to 128Mb. I changed memory_limit in PHP.ini to 256M. I change max_execution_time in PHP.ini to 300. I set memory_limit in wp-config to 256M. I changed memory_limit in .htaccess to 256M. I tried adding the code to .htaccess to force it to use the GD Library instead of Imagick. It didn’t work, so I remove that code and then added the line to limit Imagick to 1 thread. In spite of all of these changes, I still get the HTTP error when loading a file larger than 64Mb.
Any more ideas?
Thanks!
siddharth pathak says
thanks a lot, I was trying to fix this from last 2 hour and after reading this article did it in just few sec and already tested thanks a lot
Mauricio Lazo says
As a side note, another thing that can be giving you HTTP errors while uploading images is a configuration in you php.ini file, specifically the line “max_execution_time=30;”.
Some shared hosting providers limit PHP execution to a single core of the server, increasing the time it takes for PHP Imagick to get the image, process it and create thumbnails. So the suggestion is to increase max_execution_time to 120 seconds instead of the default 30 seconds.

Hello
In my case
function wpb_image_editor_default_to_gd( $editors ) {
$gd_editor = ‘WP_Image_Editor_GD’;
$editors = array_diff( $editors, array( $gd_editor ) );
array_unshift( $editors, $gd_editor );
return $editors;
}
add_filter( ‘wp_image_editors’, ‘wpb_image_editor_default_to_gd’ );
worked fine thanks

Joost Walter says
One of the causes of an upload error is the fact that there is an apostrophe in the name of the file that you try to upload. For instance a picture called ‘Let’s_dance.jpg’ will give an error, while ‘Lets_dance.jpg’ can be uploaded without any problems.
Floz says
This was the problem in my case, thank you so much!! Saved me a lot of hassle ^_^
