Method 1 : Change the memory limit in your WordPress configuration

Required : An FTP client and a text editor
While I prefer using CoreFTP and notepad or notepad++, any FTP client or editor will do the job.

  • Login to your FTP server
  • Locate “wp-config.php” file
  • Right click the file and click on edit
  • memory_limit
  • Insert the code as highlighted in the image above

define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );

Save the file and overwrite it, if prompted.

Method 2: Logout and Log back in

  • Log out of your WordPress
  • Log in again
  • Try to upload the image to check if it works
