I was so excited to see the code from Wildwood above since I have had this HTTP error for weeks now, and it has gotten much worse with the latest updates. Josue provided some code in another thread which eliminated most of the photo sizes, which seemed to temporarily fix the timeout issue but it is back with Go Daddy. This seems to impact photos of any file size, and at one time users were theorizing it was photos over a certain pixel width.

Right now, I have to get a page built and I am having a hard time uploading photos….. lots of HTTP Errors even though I added Josue’s code, other thread, and Wildwood’s code above, this thread, to my child theme functions.php, then cleared browser cache and Go Daddy cache.. I am so glad to see Kriesi is on this thread… I love this theme but this http error with Go Daddy is killing me.

If there’s something Go Daddy needs to do from their end, please tell me specifics and I can try that and report back.

Thanks,
Rob

This problem keeps being discussed in multiple threads… Josue seems to be the expert on the “fix” which is just to remove most of the photo sizes, which is really a workaround.

Please, Enfold / Kriesi, fix this once and for all. The workaround is less than ideal and strips functionality from this theme.

Josue etc did you have a chance to consider this solution I posted earlier on in this thread..:
“Open wp-config.php in your sites main directory via FTP (or cPanel)
Scroll to the line which reads /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
Add the code set_time_limit(60); above the line /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ text
This will override any conditions placed on your site by your host and you should now be able to upload images.””

This fixed the issue but then I started getting errors (see other post) so I reverted.

If you could tell me exactly what I should ask Go Daddy to change on their side, I could call them and give it a try and then if it works post a step by step solution here to help others. Thanks

I just have a concern about installing a 4-year old plug to manage all my media… one that is not updated regularly with security patches etc and one that is not available in the Word Press Plugin Library….

It really seems like Enfold should work with Go Daddy to at least give us some parameters of what to ask them to fix / change on their end… it almost seems like the uploads go faster than Go Daddy can handle and error out. If there were only a way to slow them down…

UPDATE:

I just found this discussion at WordPress support: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-files-cant-upload

This comment seemed relevant so i tried this fix on my staging site:
“This issue is being caused due to a restriction placed on your site by your web host. The reason why it appears with Minamaze and not other themes, is because Minamaze creates copied of each image you upload. The correct image size is then automatically used when needed to reduce page load speed time. As a result Minamaze needs longer to upload and create image copies.

To fix this issue please speak to your webhost and ask them to increase the max_execution_time variable to 300 seconds. Alternatively, you can achieve this by editing your wp-config.php file for your domain. To do this please follow the steps below.

Open wp-config.php in your sites main directory via FTP (or cPanel)
Scroll to the line which reads /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
Add the code set_time_limit(60); above the line /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ text
This will override any conditions placed on your site by your host and you should now be able to upload images.”

After modifying the wp-config.php file to 90 seconds (instead of 60) all pictures upload perfectly and it works like a charm!

HOWEVER – the bad news is that on the staging site this broke the functionality of the Full Screen Slider and those pages just display a big white box where the slider used to be. Feels like we are getting closer to a solution with the above if we can make sure nothing else is broken by increasing the timeout.

Can someone smarter than I am (most of you..) figure this out? (While the above support thread references a different theme, you’ll also see our beloved Enfold mentioned in the thread)

Thanks!

I went up through this thread and saw Josue’s fix for the div by zero error message… that seems to have fixed my problem but this really feels like a workaround that should be addressed in theme development. Go Daddy is the world’s largest hosting provider and the theme should be 100% compatible, with all respect.
Thank you

Guys – this is a huge issue as more and more of us use Go Daddy managed wordpress… this needs to be addressed in future Enfold theme updates… please….
