After upgrading this site to WordPress 4.5 an HTTP error began to occur when uploading some images.
I found the following defect, which has not been resolved at this time: Defect #36534
There are a couple of workarounds which can be attempted to resolved this issue.
- Add the following to the .htaccess file
SetEnv MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT 1
Unfortunately this fix did not work for me. Be aware that this fix will limit imagemagick to a single thread if you have multi-thread capabilities available.
- Add the following to your current themes functions.php
add_filter( 'wp_image_editors', 'change_graphic_lib' ); function change_graphic_lib($array) { return array( 'WP_Image_Editor_GD', 'WP_Image_Editor_Imagick' ); }
This workaround resolved my image upload issues by forcing wordpress to use the GD Image Library instead of imagemagick. You will likely want to revert this change once a fix has been released.
