 * Hi Everyone. I’m studing WordPress and I’m using a program called Local. Used
   this program to install wordpress, php, apache to run and use wordpress.
 * I’m creating a theme and now I got stuck. I cannot add any images. I tried to
   add into a blog, header… and dont work. The Error is the same: **Missing a temporary
   folder.**.
 * I searched to fix and and I created the temp folder at wp-content and also updated
   the w-config.php. I added the line
    `define('WP_TEMP_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) .'/
   wp-content/temp/');` right above the /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing.*/
   comment.
 * Also the folder wp-content have all Permitions set to all users. Can write, read,
   execute, modify…
 * I don’t know what to try or do now.

 * Look like I found the solution.
    I had to change the PHP version to an older 
   version and change the Web server from Apache to nginx.
 * A Very boring problem. Lost a lot of hours because of this. 🙁
