Title: Missing a temporary folder error Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Missing a temporary folder error * Resolved [JeffA](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffa/) * (@jeffa) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-a-temporary-folder-error/) * Recently upgraded to 2.8 and am now unable to use uploader to add images to posts. Getting error “missing a temporary folder” after upload. Worked fine till I upgraded, need a fix asap since I photoblog and this pretty much kills it. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give.
