ERROR uploading image

Hi,

I have always this error 

Error (image name)  
An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.

I know that the image is there because i checked in the folder but it does not appear in the browser of media wordpress thingy.

Does anyone know whats happening and how to get over it?

Are you trying this on local wordpress instance (using xampp or mamp) or is it a production instance?

Hi Zac Gordon ,

I tried all different sort of sizes . From a little arrow for iOS device till a big photoshop universe . Nothing worked. Whatever i put there , this error pop ups.

I do have the images, some of them in the Media Dashboard. But when i want to put it on the page, like you showed in the video , it won't ever stop loading , its just , don't work .

Is this a local site or on a server? Do they still have the option for the old styled file uploader? What happens if you install a theme that let's you upload a custom background or header image. Do those work?
