Images are uploaded to the wrong folder

    Hello.

    I created a new WP site in March 2021. Images I have uploaded are appearing in the articles and media gallery. The images work and link fine.

    If I upload image(s) via drag & drop from the media/library/add new admin page, the images are put in the wrong folder uploads/2021/03. The images are supposed to be put in the folder uploads/2021/11

    If I upload media via a page or a post by setting a featured image, it is uploaded to uploads/2021/11 which is correct.

    I have verified that folder and file permissions are all set to 755 and media/setting “Organize my uploads into month and year based folders” is checked.

    I disabled all of my plugins and activated the 2021 Theme and tried to drag and drop to the media library and the images were put in uploads/2021/03. Wrong ??
    I even reinstalled WP Core 5.8.1 with no results.

    Can you offer anything to help troubleshoot this problem? I know PHP and MySql and can try whatever you may be able to suggest.

    [Let me know] if you need more information about my site.

    I cannot replicate such behavior, so there must be something odd about your installation. How did you reinstall WP core? If by using the Re-install button on the Updates admin page, try doing a manual “update” instead. Of course it’s the same version in this case. The point is to remove and replace files instead of overwriting, which can leave behind obsolete files. The Re-install button should remove these, but maybe that process failed? Deletion via FTP is more reliable.

I understand you may have information you don’t want to disclose publicly. If the information is that sensitive, then these forums are not the right venue for support. I’ve modified the last line of your topic accordingly.
