Wix Media: Media Upload Issues

2 min read
If you are unable to upload a supported media file, the issue may be related to a local misconfiguration of settings on your computer or internet connection.

Problematic configurations for media uploads:

  • 3G internet connection: You may experience issues uploading media if you are connected through a 3G mobile connection. 
  • Carrier or data plan restrictions: Due to these restrictions, you may be unable to upload images, or other media files.
  • Public internet connection: Public institutions, such as work, school, libraries, or government facilities may restrict access to certain URLs, including our media server.
  • Internet security programs: Some internet security programs block access to our media server.

To resolve a media upload issue:

  1. Make sure you are attempting to upload a supported media file type
  2. Try uploading another media file. If the file uploads successfully you may have an issue with the file itself you're unable to upload. Try saving the file with a new name, then uploading again.  
  3. Upload the file in an incognito or private window
  4. Disable any browser extensions that may be blocking the upload, then retry uploading the file. 
  5. Clear your browser's cache.
  6. Logout of your Wix account, then sign in and retry uploading the file.
  7. Upload the file using another supported browser
  8. If you are connected to the internet through a router, connect directly through the modem and retry uploading the file. 
  9. Temporarily disable any internet security programs installed on your computer (e.g., antivirus, firewall) and retry uploading the file. 
  10. Try uploading from a different computer, using a different internet connection.
