1.Refresh the page
The first and foremost thing you should do whenever you encounter an HTTP error is to refresh your browser page. There are possibilities that your browser might have lost connection temporarily with WordPress and the uploading process simply failed to complete.Sometimes, WordPress logs you out, for whatever reason, when you refresh the page you see the login page and a message “Your session has expired. Please log in to continue where you left off.” This indicates that your login session has expired and you must log in again to continue.
2.Check your filename
Sometimes, you end up editing your image file by naming it including the special characters. This gives an error in uploading that file to WordPress.Check the name of your file. It should not contain a special character like a semicolon, equal sign, apostrophes, etc (dashes are OK). If it is there remove it and try re-uploading it with a new name (without special characters).
3.Switch the Browser
It might be possible( but the possibility is less) that the error is unrelated to the website and the browser is causing the issue, you may try switching the browser and re-upload the image.
4.Reduce the size of the file
The size of the file may be the reason for that error. In order to get rid of that error reduce the size of the file which you want to upload. You may decrease the width/height (pixels) of the image to reduce the size of the file. You can use the tools available offline as well as online to optimize the image for you.
5.Make sure the error is not temporary
You may get an HTTP error in WordPress on uploading images or any other media sometimes because of low server resources or unusual network traffic on WordPress hosting servers. This issue is fixed automatically after the network traffic is reduced or resources needed by your website are available on WordPress hosting servers, and your website can use them. You may experience this too, resulting in an HTTP error while uploading images or other media.In this case, you should wait for a few minutes so that traffic is reduced or necessary resources are available to use on hosting servers and try re-uploading the media. Also, try reducing the size of the image or the format of the image and uploading it. If it does not work then try other solutions.
