WordPress Fix – Add Media Button Not Working

Hello everyone and this is a fix for a common issue in WordPress 3.5.
WordPress Fix – Add Media Button Not Working
Basically you’ve just updated your install of WordPress and bang! The Add Media button doesn’t work! What to do?
Never fear, Carnfield is here – with a fix!
Basically you need to open your “wp-config.php” file in the root of your WordPress Install.
Search for this line:
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
And just before it add this code:
define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );
Now your WordPress Install should be fixed!

Hi, I did place the additional text to my wp-confid.php file and have disabled all my plugins, but still it didn’t work for me. Any additional idea? Thanks

Thanks a lot for this fix, it worked. I used WP 3.5 for an entire month and the issue just decided to come out of nowhere this afternoon.
What exactly does that line do, though? I noticed that my WYS pages all load slower, but I don’t see any other downside that’s come from this.

Hello Petra, you would need FTP access for this, if you try updating wordpress to a newer version it might work without this hack.
