I’m getting the following error message when trying to upload images into the media libraries of all my Local sites: Unable to create directory uploads/2017/07. Is its parent directory writable by the server? Any help much appreciated.

Solution: To remove the error you have to go to the database in to the options table wp_options, search for the upload_path in the columns option_name, delete the option_value (make it empty). Thats all, now the upload works again. Cheers

Hi @Pigwah,

Sorry for the trouble! Is this on macOS or Windows?

Also, have you tried restarting the site? Sometimes that can resolve permissions issues.
