[wp-hackers] Memory size error when uploading images

[Christian Gundersson]

Well, this issue get weirder still.

I tried using different images (same size) and they work, but not the
original images I tried with. Everytime I try I get the same issue as
before.

Previously uploaded images (from january and beyond) work flawlessly in the
Media Gallery with all sizes represented, and all new images as well, exept
for the two images that cause the problem.

I'll try again with uploading the "problem" images but with a very small
size just to test.

(On a side note. The Web host limits all PHP scripts to 32MB by default.)

Regards
//Christian, Büro 2
