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?

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.

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.
