Missing a temporary folder

  • I’m using WordPress 6.2.x and Nginx, and I’m having intermittent issues uploading media. I get “Missing a temporary folder.” When i checked, the default temporary folder (/tmp) is missing, i tried to add the config below but the error still exist
    define('WP_TEMP_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-content/temp/');

    is any other way to solve this issue?

  • The media library does not *necessarily* upload media into a /tmp directory. This is not controlled by WordPress, this is a server setting and more specifically probably a php setting.

    See here,

    PHP: Handling file uploads – Manual

    and here,

    wp_upload_dir() – Function | Developer.www.ads-software.com

    If you are having these types of issues, I would ask your hosting server support.

    Have you check the spelling? Because from your explanation above, one uses ‘temp’ and the other uses ‘tmp’.

    That could be the cause.

    Yes, I already checked the spelling. In php.ini is set into /tmp, but sometimes I can’t upload got the error “Missing a temporary folder.” I read some of the articles related to my issue and found the need to define WP_TEMP_DIR, so I defined to /wp-content/temp, also created the temp folder inside wp-content, but still nor working
