title: The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads
body: <p>I am trying to upload pictures in WordPress but I get this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am running it in localhost but the answers I have found are to change the folder permissions to 777 on the server. </p>
  
  <p>I tried making an uploads folder myself, but it's of no use and there is no option to change the folder permissions to anything except read and write.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using XAMPP on Mac OS X; I'm new to WordPress - how can I fix this?</p>
