Hello, I’m running DevKinsta on Kubuntu 21.04. I had some issues before but they had all been fixed and the application has been working flawlessly up until now. When I try uploading media on my localhost it states: **“filename.png” has failed to upload.** The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2021/06. The directory of the localhost should have all necessary permissions. I first noticed the issue yesterday. Any ideas? Regards, ---

Hi @dexter . Is the directory `wp-content/uploads/2021/06` created? Perhaps the new month directory is having permission issues? Has uploading period any other time this month? ---

Hello @michael. Yes, i thought this was the issue aswell but i’ve checked and the directory is there along with months 1 through 6. ---

@dexter Has this started only with the directory 06? The only thing I can think of is permissions for the directory 😕 . Could you try resetting them again? ---

Hi again @michael! Yes, I suspect it was a problem with the 06 directory as the problem occurred first in June but I could be wrong… Now, I don’t know what fixed the issue but it’s working as intended. Last I tempered with it was that I changed the permissions of the directory to root and then back to user. I did this last week and it did not fix the issue then, but now as of Monday, it’s working. Very strange… Wish I could give the forum a definitive fix for this but I’m not quite sure myself. ---
