This can typically happen if you’ve installed WordPress through FTP. Essentially the owner of the files is the FTP user instead of the server which causes the WordPress software to not be able to properly write files to the uploads directory. Some hosts provide an option to Reset File Permissions (WP Engine for example), other hosts you may have to contact, or if you have SSH / Terminal access you can run the following command:

`chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/public_html`

In the example above “www-data:www-data” is setting the user and group (user:group). Www-data is commonly used for the server user:group, but you may need to check what your server uses. That is a bit more complex than we’ll be getting though. Also in the example “/var/www/public_html” is the root directory of the WordPress install. You’ll need to replace that with your server’s path to your WordPress install.
