Hi Roshan,

This is normally a permissions issue. Are you working locally or on a server?

I am having the same problem. I'm working locally.

I even created a file path of wp-content/uploads/2016/08 and manually put the image that I'm trying to upload into that folder. It isn't showing up. I'm confused.
