There I open add new product after submitting every details when I try to upload a product image WordPress gave me an error written “Forbidden, you can not upload images”. Anybody know its solution?

Hi @adventuresdream,
The image upload issue in WordPress is typically caused by incorrect file permissions.
You’ll need to SSH to your droplet
ssh root@YourDropletIP
As soon as you are in, go to /wp-content/ folder in your DocumentRoot. Inside, you’ll find the uploads folder, which is where WordPress stores all your media uploads including images. You’ll need to make the permissions of the folder 755 and to all files as 644. You can achieve this by executing the following two commands
find /path/to/your/wp-contet/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find /path/to/your/wp-contet/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
