Answer 1

I'm an Arch Linux user. My WordPress location is (/srv/http/wordpress). I faced this problem before.

At first, I change my WordPress ownerships to $USER:http.

sudo chown -R -c $USER:http /srv/http/wordpress

(don't go root to change ownership with this command then $USER will be root)

you can check who is the user with

echo $USER

I created an uploads folder in wordpress/wp-content/uploads. Then give the read, write, and execute permission to the user and group of wp-content and wp-content/uploads directory.

sudo chmod 774 wp-content/
sudo chmod 774 wp-content/uploads/

hope it will helps someone.
