cannot upload images

I have the same problem with cebuhasher and also tried to modify file permissions but still can’t upload.

“The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2016/03.” is all that pops up.

Where do I check on which user is used to run PHP?

You can find out who is running the PHP on your server by this code snippet

function who_is_running_php( $text ) {
	echo 'Current script owner: ' . get_current_user();
}

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'who_is_running_php' );

It will print the user who is running PHP in the footer of your site, something like this:
Current script owner: www-data

I generally use WordPress with nginx using www-data running the PHP process and the WordPress directory owned by www-data user, but things can be different in your case

Any resolution to this issue? I’m getting:
The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2016/03.
and I can’t update WP or plugins. I could 2 days ago…what changed??

Team, I am new to CMS and In my quest to start my first web site, I see I encounter “The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/” while I am working on my LOCAL machine with no server connectivity. Most of the responses I see are around Server configurations. How do I tackle this on my local Mac?

Please help.

Thanks
