尝试在Wordpress中上传图像时，错误“无法创建目录/ wp-content / uploads”的所有可能修复是什么？

Question

I am getting the following error

Unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

whenever I try to upload images via the Media tab in Wordpress. I am running on a LAMP setup, specifically on Ubuntu with Wordpress version 4.1.1. I'm working on a localhost site otherwise I would provide a link. I've tried all of the solutions that I have found and so far, none of them have worked.

Things I've tried:

• I recursively changed the permissions of the wp-content folder to 777. (I'll downgrade the permissions to a safer setting after this problem is solved.)
• I changed the group owner of the uploads folder to www-data as seen in this solution so that Apache would have group ownership of the folder.
• I deleted the .htaccess file and resaved the permalinks setting.
• I tried changing the uploads path in wp-config.php.

I asked this same question on the Wordpress forums and received one answer that I tried, but it didn't work for me. At this point I have no clue what to try. If anybody has an idea of what I need to do to get this to work it would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

When permissions or files become corrupted, it can often be worth re installing the WP core files from scratch, I recommend downloading the WP files from the codex site.
