The most common cause is due to incorrect site folder permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For security reasons, every file and folder on your WordPress site has a set of permissions. This way your web server controls who accesses these files, ensuring it is the right users that have permission to modify the files, including the folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A user with incorrect folder permissions will be unable to modify or write files on the web server of the site. All your attempts to upload or create new files on your web server to that particular folder will be unsuccessful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more reason you are seeing this error is that the temporary files directory of your site is full and you have to empty it before making any other upload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason why you are getting the \u201cUpload: failed to write file to disk\u201d error can be because your site has gone past the quota limit that was set for your website by the site\u2019s hosting provider. You can check this out by confirming your hosting plan or contacting your hosting provider. You can upgrade your hosting plan and move to a much better plan with bigger disk space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Fix_%E2%80%9CUpload_Failed_to_Write_File_to_Disk%E2%80%9D_Error_in_WordPress\"><\/span><strong>How to Fix \u201cUpload: Failed to Write File to Disk\u201d Error in WordPress<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_1_Change_the_Folder_File_Permission_of_Your_Uploads_Directory\"><\/span><strong>Option 1: Change the Folder\/ File Permission of Your Uploads Directory.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorrect site folder permission is the most common reason for WordPress errors when uploading files. The web server prevents users without appropriate permission from writing and modifying files on that folder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using File Transfer Protocol (FTP), you can modify and change permission to your site\u2019s files and folders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step, install an FTP client like FileZilla into your computer then connect it to your WordPress site to the FTP client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After successfully connecting to the FTP client, go to your WordPress installation folder (<strong>public_html<\/strong>) and select the <strong>wp-content <\/strong>folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the folder, select <strong>File Permissions.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dialog box will open showing you file permissions options for the owner, group, and public. In the <strong>numeric value section<\/strong>, enter 755 into the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are done, go to <strong>Recurse into subdirectories<\/strong> and check the box beside it. And lastly, select <strong>Apply to directories only. <\/strong>Then click on <strong>OK<\/strong> to save the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for this setting to work, you have to change permissions for files that are inside the folder. You can do using FileZilla, and once again go to the <strong>wp-content <\/strong>folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the folder, select the <strong>File Permissions <\/strong>and enter 644 in the <strong>numeric value <\/strong>section. Check the <strong>Recurse into the subdirectories <\/strong>box, and finally click <strong>Apply to files only <\/strong>option. Then save your settings by clicking <strong>OK.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_2_Check_Your_WordPress_Temporary_Folder\"><\/span><strong>Option 2: Check Your WordPress Temporary Folder.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the reason for the error isn\u2019t your file permission, then you should check your WordPress temporary folder to ensure it isn\u2019t filled to the maximum. You don\u2019t need FTP for access to this directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contents uploaded on WordPress are usually stored in a <strong>temporary folder<\/strong> on your web server before they are being moved to the <strong>Upload folder<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if the temporary folder on your WordPress site has reached its maximum capacity, WordPress will be unable to add files to the folder resulting in the <strong>Upload: Failed to Write File to Disk <\/strong>error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This folder is located in your server, which is inaccessible to FTP. So to sort this error, you will have to <strong>contact your web host<\/strong> to help you clear your site\u2019s temporary folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_3_Check_If_Your_Site_Has_Passed_Quota_Limit\"><\/span><strong>Option 3: Check If Your Site Has Passed Quota Limit.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One more thing to check when trying to figure out the reason for the <strong>Upload: Failed to Write File to Disk <\/strong>error is to check if your site has exceeded its quota limit, using up all the disk space that was allocated to your site by your hosting provider. This issue is more likely if you are using shared hosting for your site. This is caused by the various posts, images, themes, plugins, etc. you have added to the site over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can solve this by upgrading to a better hosting plan that offers a bigger amount of disk space, or you can delete some of the unused files that are saved to the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span><strong>Summary<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix the Upload: Failed to Write File to Disk error on your WordPress site, I have listed tips here that will help you solve the problem quickly and not have to worry about it ruining your day.
