 * Good Day,
 * We have tried to find a similar issue with a solution but can not find one.
 * We have an issue whereby we upgrade to PHP 7.3 and it solves the Temp Folder 
   Missing issue.
 * This works for a while but then the issue persists.
 * We then downgrade to PHP 7.2 and it solves the issue.
 * Is there any way to stabilize the problem?
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Please add the following line to your wordpress wp-config.php file, it should
   solve issue:
 * define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’,dirname(_FILE_). ‘/wp-content/temp/’);
 * Thanks

 * Hi Vikas,
 * I have that already in place.
 * So what happens is we change back to a lower PHP EG: 7.2
 * The issue gets resolved then say 1 – 2 weeks later it happens again.
 * Temp Folder Missing/Drafts do not update
 * We then change up to 7.3 and it works and the same issue happens after 1 -2 weeks.
 * We are using a very stock standard Theme, with minimal plugins (Wordfence/Elementor/
   Advanced Gutenberg plus a few others)
 * I’ll try disabling plugins and see if it is a plugin, but most of these are updated
   regularly and are compatible with PHP 7.1 – 7.3
 * Kind Regards
