    Hello, I am having a hard time with my site Forgotten Sports Heroes.

    I can’t upload any feature images to my articles. I’ve been a WordPress user/customer for over a decade and I’ve never had this problem long term before.

    My hosting company and Web guy haven’t fixed the issue yet and it’s been over a week.

    I need help ASAP!.

    The following is the error message I am getting when I attempt to upload a feature image:

    The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2023/03.

    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Unknown
    Correct account: Unknown

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello, I got the same error, but in my case, deleting some unused images solved it, which means it’s an error of memory shortage.

    You can try the following as well,

    1. Check folder permissions: Make sure that the wp-content/uploads folder has the correct permissions. The folder should be writable by the web server. You can do this by using an FTP client or a file manager in your hosting control panel.
    2. Increase PHP memory limit: Sometimes, WordPress may fail to upload large files due to low PHP memory limit. You can increase the PHP memory limit by adding the following line to your wp-config.php file:
      define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
    3. Disable security plugins: If you have security plugins installed on your WordPress site, they may interfere with the file upload process. Try disabling them temporarily and see if it resolves the issue.
    4. Check disk space: Make sure that you have enough disk space on your server. If your disk space is low, WordPress may not be able to move the uploaded file to the uploads folder.

    Hope this helps :)
