Thanks @autotutorial . I was sure to back everything up before making any changes haha!

Unfortunately disabling the plugin did not allow me to upload images and the missing temporary folder error persisted.

Permissions for the /wp-content folder are set to 755.

I initially added this code to wp-config.php:

define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’,dirname(__FILE__).’/wp-content/temp’);

I then added a /temp and a /tmp folder within /wp-content an assigned the appropriate permissions.

I’m less sure about what you are suggesting here:

However this code normally overrides the default folder in one you defined.
because it doesn’t work I don’t know.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_temp_dir/

$temp = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/’;
if ( is_dir( $temp ) && wp_is_writable( $temp ) ) {
return $temp;
}

return ‘/tmp/’;
https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/default-constants.php#L71
WP_CONTENT_DIR I read this code will have the value of ABSPATH (root wordpress) wp-content for $temp = ABSPATH.’wp-content’.’/’ if it is a directory and writable return this otherwise /tmp/

Also note that this might be preventing me from uploading new images. When I attempt to upload images, I receive the error ‘missing temporary folder.’

I’ve attempted to rectify this with the usual solutions found online, e.g. here: https://hostpapasupport.com/how-to-fix-missing-temporary-folder-error-in-wordpress/

But that only served to exacerbate the issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
