Error: Your upload path is not valid or does not exist: /home/user/public_html/wp-content/uploads

This error occurs when the “upload_path” value in the WordPress options table isn’t valid.

You can update this to the correct path with this SQL query:

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = ‘/home/correctpath/public_html/wp-content/uploads’ WHERE option_name = ‘upload_path’ LIMIT 1;

You may need to change the table name, wp_options, depending on your table prefix.
