Cannot update WordPress website
-
Hello world!
I ran into two wordpress problems today.
When logged in at my wordpress dashboard, I noticed I cannot upload any images, I get the message: The uploaded file cannot be placed in the folder wp-content/uploads/2025/03 (translated from Dutch).
When opening my folders in Filezilla, the uploading goes perfectly, only it doesn’t show in the media overview of my wordpress environment.
I thought of updating the wordpress version. Right now it’s 6.3.2 and version 6.7.2 is available. Only if I try to login with the FTP credentials I keep getting the message ”Cannot connect with server, check if the credentials are correct.” I tried all combinations possible, even contacted my host, with their help I couldn’t login either. They said it must be a wordpress problem, since logging into Filezilla works fine.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? Does the uploading problem and the FTP login problem have the same cause? Thanks for your time.
