WordPress Fix – Add Media Button Not Working

WordPress Fix – Add Media Button Not Working
on December 13, 2012 in Blog

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!

      Try disabling all plugins, some times its an issue with the theme too.

        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.

    Thanks so much for this tip to solve this problem. I’m not so technical (yet :-) ). Can you please tell me where I can find:
    Basically you need to open your “wp-config.php” file in the root of your WordPress Install.

    I have a theme installed, i don’t know if that gives additional ‘problems’.

    Thanks again for your feedback!

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