    I am also unable to upload photos or cover photos on Ultimate Member profiles. I’ve just uploaded the site to the server for the first time and this is the only thing not working.

    I see a number of threads referring to possible theme/plugin conflicts however I find this odd as the feature works fine when setup locally on wampserver. I therefore suspected it was a folder permission error and have spent the last few hours testing that theory with no luck.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions here?

    When I upload a profile photo, the upload status bar goes to 100%, although the apply button remains disabled.

    Kinda stumped! But will keep going while in the meantime hoping someone replies with the magic answer ??

    Ok info for others facing this issue….

    It was definitely a folder permissions issue, chmod wasn’t solving the issue because the linux user had insufficient privileges.

    Therefore, my workaround was to change wp-config.php to point the UPLOADS folder to another location by adding this line:

    define( ‘UPLOADS’, ‘/home/user1/site1_uploads’);

    user1 and site1_uploads are just an example names… the point was that the folder was in a location completely outside the site itself in a location which that user could access.

    The alternative of course is to get deeper into configuring the users permissions, although for the sake of just uploading profile photos that was good enough for me.
