File upload fail , when i try to upload in the user interface. I can upload the same image in the admin panel but in the user i get either file upload fail or NO PHOTOS WERE UPLOADED BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE SIZE OR WRONG FORMAT.

You have to check that the ow_userfiles folder and all the ones depending on it have the write permissions set to 0777.
You have to check at yoursite.com/admin/settings/content
what size limits you have set.
You have to try several photos (not just one), there are some that the graphics library doesn't understand and aborts the upload and triggers this same error message.
Note that every time you upload a photo, if it fails, you have several files left in ow_userfiles/plugins/photo that start with tmp*.* . You can delete them, it's a known OxWall error that we drag since OxWall was invented.

Hello, thanks you for your promptly response. In the admin I set it as 25mb limit, while i am trying to upload a 24kb jpeg and png file. Both of them are getting error. The whole oxwall folder is at 0777 recursive , and i don't see any temp files in the ow_userfiles
edit:i found the temp in the following folder ow_userfiles/plugins/base

Please check here too:
yorsite.com/photo/admin
that there is another limit, this one affects only the photo plugin.

You can upload photos to NewsFeed?
Can you upload avatars?
Can you upload photos with other plugins?

I fixed error the thanks you both for your support!! The error wasn't oxwall related but php. The php was updated recently to 7.4 but for some reason the server was still seeing 7.0. The php7.0-gd was missing because now it was using php7.4-gd therefore i couldn't upload the images and I had to install the php7.0-gd!

Great you solved it. Yes i was think all the time it was a server issue not oxwall related issue. usely when it comes to problem with upload something to a server.
