customization - POST 429 Error when trying to place more than 20 images into post at once

I’ve come across a bug that I can’t seem to fix and it seems to be on multiple WP sites that I manage / own.

The issue: When placing multiple images into a wordpress post it spits out “VM392:1 POST .php 429″

I’ve tried to do some research to see if this is a common problem but I can’t find anything. I’ve also discovered that it only happens when trying to upload more than 20 images at once. At 20 or below it’ll accept it and place it into the post…

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Sorted by: Reset to default 0

There is a php ini directive called 'max_file_uploads', which (as it happens) defaults to 20. So, this is the number of files php will allow you to upload in one go. If you can edit the php ini yourself, then you can probably add or update this value. If not, then your server team will need to do it.
