Http Error on image upload after WP update

I was having this problem as well. Adding this code to the functions.php in the theme editor seem to resolve it.

add_filter( 'wp_image_editors', 'change_graphic_lib' );

function change_graphic_lib($array) {
return array( 'WP_Image_Editor_GD', 'WP_Image_Editor_Imagick' );
}

code was found here.
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-when-uploading-images-17

Once i updated the code, i ended up using Microsoft edge to upload the images… i was using Chrome when i had the issue. I have yet to try chrome again to see if i still have issues.

Maybe try a different browser.

I’m also having this issue, however it doesn’t matter what size the image is, or extension. Theme is up to date (just did a reinstall) as is WordPress.

*EDIT*
I put the below code in functions.php, and problem was solved.

add_filter( 'wp_image_editors', 'change_graphic_lib' );

function change_graphic_lib($array) {
return array( 'WP_Image_Editor_GD', 'WP_Image_Editor_Imagick' );
}

I had the same issue. Adding this code in functions.php (provided by AdamBlumFGE) worked for me:

add_filter( 'wp_image_editors', 'change_graphic_lib' );

function change_graphic_lib($array) {
return array( 'WP_Image_Editor_GD', 'WP_Image_Editor_Imagick' );
}
