File upload problem in WordPress

In the following example, the site path will be:
/home/user/
And the path for the WordPress program is:
/home/user/public_html/wordpress

1. Log in via FTP, then create a new folder named:

wptmp
The path of the folder will be:
/home/user/wptmp
Set the folder's permissions to 777.
2. Navigate to the WordPress folder, which in our case is:

/home/user/public_html/wordpress
Edit the wp-config.php file and add the following line:
define('WP_TEMP_DIR', '/home/user/wptmp');
Then save the file.
3. Also, ensure the wp-content/uploads folder has permissions set to 777:

/home/user/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/uploads
