Steps to Fix “Unable to Create Directory” Error in WordPress Media Upload:
- Log in to your WordPress account.
- Navigate to “Settings” and select “Media.”
- Locate the option labeled “Store uploads in this folder.“
- If you see the error message “unable to create directory uploads/year/month,” replace the existing path “wp-content/uploads” with a new one. You can simply use “wp-content/uploads” or specify another writable folder.
- Save the changes.
This should resolve the issue. If the problem persists, contact your hosting provider to ensure the parent directory is writable.
