  Hello,

  I am trying to upload an image to my blog post that I have written. I have tried several different images (approximately 10) and all come up with the same message: 1 file could not be uploaded because an error occurred while uploading. This issue has never happened before and I would really appreciate any help that can be offered. Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello

  Here’s some information on troubleshooting your images. Take a look specifically at the image size, file name and color space section and see if that sheds any light on your issue.

  Troubleshooting Image Uploads

  Additionally, I’ve found that sometimes if you download images from online sources, they can become corrupted. They may look ok in your computer’s image viewer or editor, but still can’t be uploaded.

  Finally, if you are opening your images in an image editor, like Photoshop, double check that you are saving the images in a web compatable format (.jpg or .png). Even if you type a .jpg or .png at the end of the file name, if the image format is still set to something else, it won’t work.

  Hope this helps!

  hello,

  You might also want to check your file name. Avoid using any special character such as any symbol, as &*()!@#$%^() and so on. Best practice to avoid using it at all when you name or rename your file. Just use alphabet.

  Hope this help.

  i think there might just be a simple connection/internet problem. it does that to me, too. Sometimes. Just reload your page. Make sure you are in with the account access (you may need to log in again). Then try again to reload the picture. I know it may sounds stupid and too simple, but i have got that message many times and it has ever been because of the internet expired.
