Upload folder not writable. …

    I MANUALLY transferred a WPMU site to a new server, root folder, and now have a constant “Upload folder is not writable. Export and file upload features will not be functional.” which in fact turns out to be true. I’m unable to export/import my WooCommerce CSV files.

    I’ve set attributes to /wp-content/uploads to 777, to no avail. I’ve searched google and WP forums, to no avail – I desperately need some direction on how to fix this problem. If anyone could please step in and offer me some help I’d be so very grateful.

    We’ve been experiencing the same problem with our website and unable to find additional information on how to fix. The only issue is that we have not conducted any sort of site transfer.

    Do a very thorough DB search for ‘uploads path url.’

    Check in your Settings/Media and make sure the upload path is set to “wp-content/uploads.” I had the same issue and this fixed it for me…

    Thank you, Todd. Unfortunately, it appears that this was already set and we are still experiencing the problem. As indicated by the error message, we are unable to upload any new media, or even use the media that was previously uploaded. This is certainly annoying since we are trying to update our site and are unable to do so because there appears to be no fix.
