 * I’ve been reading articles related to “Missing a temporary folder” issue and 
   I’ve tried couple of things, but nothing worked!
 * I have edited the line in “file.php” with below command;
    `echo getcwd();`
 * After adding the above command, when I try to upload an image it gives me below
   message;
 * /home/content/94/11264294/html/wp-admin
    “GBS Banner_Plain.JPG” has failed to
   upload due to an error Missing a temporary folder.
 * I’m unable to find my php.ini file. I have created a phpinfo file in my root 
   directory
    [http://www.gbskw.com/phpinfo.php](http://www.gbskw.com/phpinfo.php)
 * I have tried all the above, but was not able to solve this temporary folder issue.
   Can anyone please help me!

 * When did you first notice this? Were you ever able to upload images? Has anything
   happened that might have caused this like any kind of update to plugin, core,
   or theme?

 * Yes, I was able to do this before, but recently I migrated to Linux from Windows.
   My hosting is done through GoDaddy. I followed simple steps to migrate, but then
   stuck with this temporary folder thing!

 * Have you contacted Godaddy about this? I know others have had issues with Godaddy’s
   hosting with WordPress.

 * New member here. I have installed the latest version of WP and surprise surprise
   this issue of a “Missing Temp Folder” strikes yet again.
 * I have read over the comments on the forum and the issue goes back for years 
   with no resolution. The ability to add pictures is essential to most bloggers
   and this really shouldn’t require users rooting around in PHP code.
 * Does anyone has a definitive solution?

 * ToddyFur, you should start a new thread and be specific in what your issue is.
   If you have hosting with godaddy, then start there if not post a new thread.
