HTTP Wordpress Image Upload Error Fix

Well, wordpress has just been updated (April 2016) and as usual there are a few bugs that need fixing! Wordpress is a great platform, but I'm suffering from the flue here and just trying to keep things moving by tryin to add a hassle free post to one of my websites. Which is usually the case..No such luck though today when I'm ill. I know Wordpress can't always get everything perfect with all the different plug-ins and conflicts etc, but I wish they would test more before releasing new updates! Anyway, rant over. Here's how to be able to upload images again!.

This http wordpress error when trying to upload an image is a seriously annoying problem. Several fixes have worked for a few lucky people, but most do not work. The error remains. Deactivating all plug-ins then trying to upload an image does nothing either. Some have suggested changing the write permissions of the folders, but for me and many other people that did nothing either. So what fixes this problem?

Go to this link on github: https://github.com/getsource/default-to-gd Download the file by clicking the Download Zip button on the right hand side (See picture). Add the file to your sick wordpress site just like you were adding a new plug-in. Install and activate the new mini plug-in and you should now be able to upload pictures again. And the good thing is this file is less than 2kb in size. Right, back to work for me. Hope this helps you out! Until the next time..Hopefully not with this same error!
