Add Media button stopped working

  • Hi there,

    The Add Media button stopped working altogether. WP3.5 ran perfectly until this morning, when I tried to upload an image to the main website. The button was unresponsive. I have one main site (it-enquirer.com) and 4 subsites/subdomains. The 4 subsites all work well — Add Media button functions OK.

    The main site error (logged on Safari; but shows in Firefox and Chrome as well) is this cryptic message: “SyntaxError: \u can only be followed by a Unicode character sequence.”

    I turned on the Script debug feature in wp-config.php and the error was gone as long as the debug statement was in this file. Removing re-introduced the error.

    I tried deactivating ALL plugins. No luck.

    In Firefox, this is the error I get:

    De-activating any plug-in seems to fix the problem until I reload the editor page and try again. And then activating any random plug-in results in the same strange behaviour…

    The
    define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );
    command seems to have fixed this problem.

    do you just put that in wp-config.php or something? did it fix it completely?

    I put it right here — very close to the end of the file on my system:

    define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */

    For me, this solved it across all (sub)domains.

    Just to be clear: You insert this code into the wp-config.php file?

    Any update on this? I added the “CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS” line to my wp-config but bug remains.
