    What causes the “Missing a Temporary Folder” error?

    Incorrect PHP settings in your WordPress hosting environment are the cause of the "Missing a Temporary Folder" problem. WordPress is configured to save uploaded files to the specified location after temporarily storing them in a temporary folder. WordPress won't be able to process your uploaded files or apply software upgrades without access to that temporary location.

    This issue occurs when WordPress cannot find or access the temporary folder, regardless of whether you deleted it on purpose or not.
