Missing a temporary folder

    I have read every previous post on this topic – when I try to upload an image it says “Missing a temporary folder” and this changed happened for no discernible reason – and done everything everyone says to do:

    I went into the wp-config file and put in “define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-content/temp/‘);” where it said to, with no smart quotes, and made sure the temp folder existed at that location and had the folder permissions set correctly.

    I updated to the highest PHP version available on the server (Current PHP version: 7.0.30).

    I also tried creating a file with a name php.ini, placing the following code inside the file: “upload_tmp_dir= your/path/to/public_html/temp/“. And yes I change the path to the correct path, saved the file, and created a temp folder at the same location, i.e. inside public_html.

    No change!

    If there is something I need to ask my host provider, I don’t know what it is.

    Can anyone help me? I am totally befuddled.

  • You didn’t provide a working URL so I couldn’t take a look but…

    If this is any flavor of Xnix hosting you’ll also need to make sure CHown is set properly for that directory so WordPress can write to that directory.
