WordPress error on upload

Sometimes I find an issue when uploading files or images to WordPress via the admin area. It may say; “the uploaded file could not be moved to…” or “HTTP error”, I have narrowed this down to 3 potential possibilities:

• If you have added a custom permalink you may need to add the following code to the .htaccess file in the root:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> <IfModule mod_security.c> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> <IfModule mod_security.c> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </IfModule>

• File permissions may need changing on the FTP, you can do this by right clicking and choosing ‘Set Permissions’ on the folder in remote view.
• If the website was moved from the Localhost to the live web server, the paths may need changing in the database via phpmyadmin.
• Website has run out of disk space or bandwidth.

Please remember that these are only solutions for problems that I have come across and hopefully will work for you as well.
