Wordpress: Missing a temporary folder while uploading media

Upon reading many wordpress forums, finally got a solution.

Simply follow the below steps to solve this,


1. Create a  custom php.ini file in public_html folder.

2. Add the following lines in php.ini file:

upload_max_filesize = 16M
upload_tmp_dir = on
upload_tmp_dir = /home/username/tmp

Please make sure to replace username with your hosting username

3. Copy the same php.ini file to your wp_admin folder.
