Reduce Image Size:
- Large images can sometimes trigger HTTP errors during upload. Try reducing the size of the image before uploading.

Check File Format:
- Ensure that you're uploading images in a supported format (like JPEG, PNG, or GIF). Other formats might not be accepted.

Optimize Images:
- Before uploading, consider optimizing your images using tools like Adobe Photoshop, TinyPNG, or other image compression plugins.

- Remember to always back up your website files and database before making any significant changes. This way, you can easily restore your site if something goes wrong during troubleshooting.
