  • Can’t you upload files under Media either?

    Check the file permissions, see:

    I already have checked folders permissions is correct. and i can upload files from file manager. my data center team have checked everything properly from server end. he said problem from wordpress side.

    Have a look at the error message in the source code. It actually occurs whenever wp-content/ cannot be written to.

    Can you have a look if in your wp-config.php a line like

    define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

    is present? Could you remove this line for a test?

    Hello, No this line is not exist in wp-config.php file

    Could you add it then as a test:

    define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

    Direct under

    Add any custom values between this line and the “stop editing” line
