Can’t upload any file to the Media Library

  • Hi, When I try to drag a file on to the Add Media panel I get the “circle with a line through it” icon and when I click the “Select Files” button to upload a file, no files show up in any folder in the File Explorer.
    Im using wampserver and a virtual domain.
    I deactivated all plugins to rule that out as the problem.
    I tried a different theme (twenty Seventeen) and that didn’t fix it.
    I read somewhere that you could go to Settings/media and change the path to the uploads folder, but there is no such option there for that.

    Any ideas what the problem could be?

    thanks!

  • These problems of not being able to update files when on localhost often come down to file permission problems. That the ID running php does not have permissions to write to the files in the website. This also occurs with unable to install themes and plugins through the WordPress dashboard.
    One solution is to install the files yourself using the computers file manager applications, otherwise you could sort out the required file and directory permissions, and when you do please let us know as it is an issue many of us share.
