wordpress version = 2.8.2


when i upload any image it shows the error of

MISSING TEMPORARY FOLDER

i have already chmod the whole wp-content folder to 777
Still the same error

then make a new folder with name Uploads chmod it to 777
still same error


After searching bout this error I found that you have to modify you php.ini file which I cant find

Please help...i have already lost my one precious week.

The reason you cannot find the php.ini file is because it is server wide - not account specific. So editing this is out of the question.

Try naming it uploads and chmod'ing it to 777.

Its upload...

sorry that was typo error..

and i have done all kind of 777 chmoding

no one can solve this problem in this whole world ::??????

Modify the php.ini to what effect?

Thats the solution which can hopefully fix this issue

You can easily overcome this problem by editing the php.ini file located in etc/ folder, uncommenting the line upload_tmp_dir (by deleting the semi-colon “;”) and pointing the variable to a folder using an absolute path. In Linux possible steps are:

To be able to upload images in WordPress, php.ini must have a working temporary folder assigned to it that Wordpress can write to. I guess the admins need to sort this out as php.ini is out of our hands. A Google search for "wordpress missing temporary folder" yields information on it. me87, I suggest you do that search yourself too in case there are other solutions you can pursue. (Hehe, this post is already appearing on Google with that search query!)

I don't use the built in uploader tbh, I've always used my ftp manager to uploads things to my wordpress site.


BTW, all you need to do is to create a folder called uploads into your wp-content directory and make sure its permission is set to 777. I just tested it and it works fine.

Please use the instructions provided. This solution has been tested and works fine. No need to consider editing the php.ini file.

I have same problem. When I upload file from media library, i get a message "Error saving media attachment", and when I upload file from "add media" button from add post, I get message "Missing a temporary folder".

try uploading it using an ftp client and try accessing it with your browser. BTW, what is the file type of the file in question.

I am having the same problem. I have tried setting folder permissions to 777, or creating other temporary folders and setting WP to them, I have also manually uploaded a file to uploads folder in wp-content and checked it through browser. Everything works fine except for uploading through WP? This is frustrating me, so please if someone has any further suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hello
Me too having this problem.i cant upload images in wordpress.same error in wordpress 2.8.4

Zymic Admin.

Please Make a change in php.ini

in "upload_tmp_dir" please put value to a temp folder(may be "tmp" folder)
so the problem can be solved

please help

Zymic is without doubt the best free host on the planet!

Wordpress is without doubt the most used blogging software on the planet!

It is then ultimately suprising that Admin are not willing to change this one setting that can take the pain out of using Wordpress!

I understand that the php.ini file is not per specific account, but server wide, but that should not make a difference!

I do not want to teach grandmother to suck eggs but here is the simple way to close this problem once and for all:

You can easily overcome this problem by editing the php.ini file located in etc/ folder, uncommenting the line upload_tmp_dir (by deleting the semi-colon “;�) and pointing the variable to a folder using an absolute path. In Linux possible steps are:

open a terminal
create a temporary folder for all apache tasks in your user folder and grant all right to all users:
mkdir wwwtmp && chmod 0777 wwwtmpedit php.ini with your text editor and set the temporary folder (you must switch to root user)
su
vim /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini
upload_tmp_dir = /home/my_user/wwwtmp/Remeber to remove preceding “;�

save the file (in vim type :wq an press enter) and restart xampp
/opt/lampp/./lampp restartIf everything went fine the error won’t be raised anymore.

It would be really nice to think that such a popular script that millions use can also be used without issues on Zymic

Here is hoping!

While we are all waiting for something positive to happen, the only other way is to FTP your images to your image folder, then use the 'insert image from URL' in Wordpress giving the url to the file. It is a long drawn out affair and not ideal, but better than nothing...

For the sake of a few minutes work from the Zymic side we can all be happy!

I have solved the error by upgrading to 2.8.4 changing a few settings. Don't need to be a brain surgeon to do it...
