You may face something like the following upon uploading an image using your WordPress –> Media section
Error:
“foto-0012.jpg” has failed to upload.
Unable to create directory uploads/2022/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Fix 1:
Double check you have files/folders permissions 644/755 accordingly
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; && find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
Fix 2:
Update your WordPress wp-config.php file with the following line just after “<?php>” tag:
define( 'UPLOADS', 'wp-content/uploads' );
