Unable to upload images or documents in media library after upgrading t 4.4.1

  • Hello,
    I have four WP sites on my stage server that I usually test the updates before, updating the production sites.

    I had a problem with three of them to displaying images on posts and pages, I was able to fix the issue by adding the code form https://wptavern.com/how-to-fix-images-not-loading-in-wordpress-4-4-while-using-sslto the function.php

    However, I am getting this error (Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2016/01. Is it parent directory writable by the server? And the answer is yes, it’s writable) only on one of my sites. The above code did not help at all for this site. It looks like a permission error, but, I didn’t change anything in my server, and all my sites are running under the same server. Folder permissions are ok the way was before with no problem.
    The parent theme for this site is twenty twelve updated to latest version. I changed the theme, deactivated and activated the plugins with fresh install, but none of them make any difference.
    the same site in production server has no problem and running 4.4.

    Appreciate your time and help in advance.

  • Try manually creating that directory and then retry?

    Hi Rajesh,
    I did via ftp, I get this msg file cannot be move to upload/2016

    Please paste the exact error message. Also have you made sure the upload/2016 folder has global write permissions? Typically chmod 0775 or 0777.

    Yes, I have 4 other WP in the same server. My sites are running in SSL.
    All allow Apache write the folder but this one.
    Before I manually create the folder via ftp, I was getting this error:
    “Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2016/01. Is its parent directory is writable by the server?“
    After I create the directory manually via ftp with permission, I was able to add images into the folder via ftp, but when I tried to upload images from media library I was getting this error:
    name of the file in first line. in second line says The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads.

    Thank you Rajesh.
