🤔 I wonder if it’s a permissions issue. Is this from an imported site? Could you try the steps highlighted [in this thread here](https://community.kinsta.com/t/unable-to-create-directory-wp-content-uploads-is-its-parent-directory-writable-by-the-server/345/15) and let me know if that helps? ---

No, this is for a new site created using DK. ---
