How to Fix Image Upload Issue on WordPress (All Steps)

Incorrect file permissions generally bring on **WordPress image** upload problems. Your web hosting server houses your WordPress files, which require particular file & directory permissions to function. On the hosting server, incorrect file permissions prevent WordPress from reading or uploading files. WordPress may give you the following error when uploading an image file: “Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2019/04.” Is the server able to write to its parent directory?

• At First, connect to your website via FTP and switch to the /wp-content/ folder.
• You will find the uploads folder, where WordPress stores all your media uploads, including images.
• Now right-click on the uploads directory and then choose “File Permissions”.
• It will bring up the file permissions dialogue box.
• The uploads directory and its subdirectories’ file permissions must first be set to ‘744’.
• To achieve it, type 744 into the numeric value field and select “Recurse into subdirectories” from the drop-down menu. Now select the radio box that says “Apply to directories only.”
• To create these changes, press the ‘OK’ button. Your FTP client will now start using file permissions to the directories.
• Note: If setting directory permissions to 744 does not solve your problem, try 755.
• In the next step, you must set file approvals for all the files in the uploads directory.
• Right-click the uploads directory and choose file permissions to accomplish it. Change the numerical value to “644” in the file permissions dialogue box.
• Check the box next to ‘Recurse into subdirectories’. Select the ‘Apply to files only’ radio button after that.
• To make these changes final, use the ‘OK’ button.
