Hi, My problem is I can’t upload any files after host my website, I got an error like The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2017/04. I set Permission to all folders and error still existing. My site is Hosted on Digital Ocean and I get a suggestion that I need to consult Digital ocean and tell them to set the permission on my site. Any suggestions???

Hi @sherine12345 Have you set ownership to the correct user and group for all files+folders in the uploads folder. It’s usually www-data for both user and group.
