Random errors on uploading images on WordPress

Help! (Home for newbies)

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Ubuntu Linux 20.04.6
Virtualmin version 2.021
PHP 8.2 ( but was also on 7.4 an issue)
PHP-FPM mode

I get this error from time to time, sometimes when i’m uploading just 1 image, but when I batch upload 30 images, It does like 50 to 75 % without issues and others without an issue.

“The server cannot process the image. This can happen if the server is busy or does not have enough resources to complete the task. Uploading a smaller image may help. The recommended maximum size is 2560 pixels.”

Even with a 21kb image that is like 100x50 for exemple it sometimes goes south.
When I hard refresh, the picture is actually uploaded without an issue.

Would you mind posting your server specs? Mainly processor and memory. While WM/VM can run on minimal hardware, that doesn’t meant it is a good idea.

Doing something like running top while uploading might show if it is a system resource issue.

I’m testing with this now; seems to not have issues;
I’ll do some extra testing :slight_smile:

function wpb_image_editor_default_to_gd( $editors ) {
$gd_editor = 'WP_Image_Editor_GD' ;
$editors = array_diff ( $editors , array ( $gd_editor ) );
array_unshift ( $editors , $gd_editor );
return $editors ;
}
add_filter( 'wp_image_editors' , 'wpb_image_editor_default_to_gd' );

I did a quick search and found this. I’m mostly out of my element at this point though. Good luck.
