I couldn’t get any of the define’s to work. Once I’d run procmon on the server and found what the directory was that it was actually trying to utilize I hit a home run and got it working. I don’t know why the addition of the define’s telling it where to store the temp’s wouldn’t work. Once I made the root directory tmp directory and assigned rights it took right off…

I think this is the correct code for later versions of WordPress (to fix the division-by-zero problem:

$path = ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/temp/’;
define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’,$path’);

…but I couldn’t get this to solve the *actual* problem. ;-)

I’ve copied and pasted the code exactly, and am still getting the “divide by zero” error. I’ve also altered permissions of both the wp-content directory and the upload directory. no luck.
?
thanks for the help on this.

Go to your file manager and changed the permissions on the wp-content folder to read and write!

I had the same problem (Division by Zero)

Use the following snippet :)

$path = $ABSPATH .’wp-content/uploads/’;
define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’,$path’);
