How to fix the WordPress Uploads Error "Missing temporary folder"
This article contains information about the "Missing Temporary Folder" WordPress Uploads problem.
The message "missing temporary folder"can be caused by a few different issues
- running out of storage
- corrupt/missing core wordpress files
- faulty plugin overriding uploads (portfolio media plugins are terrible for this)
- mistake in your wordpress config file
If you are 100% sure you have plenty of storage available, have updated to the latest version of WP, have checked/replaced/repaired your plugins then it's time to look at your wp-config.php file
[ You can edit your wp-config.php file by FTP, File Manager, Download and local notepad or other preferred method ]
The _normal_ definition for the temp location will be
define('WP_TEMP_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-content/temp/');
The directory must exist (or be created) and have permissions of 755
Now try again.
