I am using wordpress 5.3.2 , while uploading any media ,plugin or theme file I am getting error

"Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server?"

I had check all the permission of parent folder and permission is 755.

It must be issue of File Permission Follow The Following Steps.

1.To give all permissions to a folder give chmod -R 777:

sudo chmod 755 -R /path/to/directory

or sudo chmod a+rwx /path/to/directory

or Yo Can Also Give Permission Via Filezilla Parent Directory Recursively.

2.In wp-config.php Add Code Before require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php'); 

define( 'UPLOADS', 'wp-content/uploads' );
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
