Answer 3

I have accidentally deleted the tmp folder from my computer (Macbook) and faced the issue on the localhost WordPress site, and followed the below steps to fix the issue:

1. First, have to check the temporary folder location by the below code.

   var_dump(sys_get_temp_dir()); In my case, the output was /var/tmp

2. Then, we have to check if the folder exists or not, by the below code. var_dump(file_exists(sys_get_temp_dir())); In my case, the folder did not exist as I already deleted that.

3. If the folder does not exist, then create a new folder named tmp. Open the terminal and navigate to the folder /private/var and create a new folder named tmp.

4. If the issue is not fixed yet, or the folder already exists then we have to check the permissions of the folder.
