Hello [email protected], Thank you for contacting us about HTTP errors when uploading images in WordPress. As a test you can easily disable mod security from cPanel, there is a helpful tool there to simplify the process (you just have to uncheck a box, then click "update" to disable). Turning on WordPress debugging is very straight forward, and our guide now includes a helpful walk-through video as well. With debugging turned on, it is much easier to locate any errors within your WordPress site as well as any plugins and themes that may be causing errors.This will not cause you to lose anything, but only display errors that are occurring. We are happy to help you troubleshoot your site further, but will need some additional information. What are the full errors you are getting? Does this happen with every image? Have you tried a different image? What size is the image? Let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you, John-Paul
