WordPress Media Error

Possible Cause:

wp-content/uploads directory has become immutable.

To fix the issue you have to make the uploads directory mutable. When a directory is marked as immutable then its content can not be changed even by the administrator. So first step is to check make the directory mutable recursively and check whether the upload problem is fixed or not.

How to make the directory mutable?

sudo chattr -R -i /home/my-domain/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2025/11
Please change the path according to your upload directory path.

Now check the WordPress Media upload function. It should work fine now.
