I am trying to upload a PHP file to WordPress root folder (www or public_html).

How can I do it ?

I want to implement it on my theme. I tried with move_uploaded_file , but it's not uploading anywhere.

Please add the below code after require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php'); declaration. 

define('UPLOADS', 'files');

Please note that, you have to use the default wordpress media manager instead of your own custom code with "move_uploaded_file".

Just use ftp, that's the only easiest way to upload files to your root directory with wordpress. I guess your using webhosting for your wordpress website, login on their website and check for ftp credentials or just ask them for it. Most of the time i use filezilla for uploading files to wordpress. Filezilla
