Add Media “Choose Files To Upload” Not Working

  • I’m sure this was working last week. I’ve come into work this morning – I’m currently developing a site with WordPress 2.5.1 – and the Choose Files To Upload button not longer appears when I click on Add An Image. Instead I get a browse input box and upload button. Also, when browsing the media, clicking on Show on each image now does absolutely nothing, instead of expanding the image details. As I said I’m sure this was working without problems last week/week before – I’ve been uploading lots of images to blog posts! I have 2.5.1 installed on another server and this feature is working fine. I haven’t knowingly changed any files I shouldn’t, so I have no idea what’s going on. Many thanks in advance for any help…

    I am having the same problem but with a twist. I can see and use the Add Media buttons just fine in IE6, IE7, and Firefox browsers. My client on the other hand, it’s quit working. I had recently updated plugins, so I went back and disabled the newest versions and re-uploaded the originals. I also deactivated the “sociable” plug in because that was a new one I recently added. This did not fix the problem. Taking things one step at a time, I have also so far swapped out the wp-admin and waiting to hear if that helps her. I don’t understand why if it’s working in my IE7 which is what she’s using, it would not work in hers. Any ideas? Kind of hard to fix something that I can’t duplicate myself.

    Same problem here. While I can still choose the Add An Image option, when I click on the Choose Files To Upload button, nothing happens. It just hangs and hangs. There must be some configuration that has changed on my computer, because this feature was working fine about a week ago. Also, I can go upstairs to one of the other computers or use my home computer and do this with no problem. HELP!!! Please??

    I had this problem last month. For me, the browser had a newer version of flash installed than worked with wordpress. Using a browser that wasn’t updated was the only way I could edit. Have since upgraded wordpress to 2.7 and that works fine.

    I’m having the same problem with the add/upload files buttons above each post. They were working fine a couple weeks ago like everyone else has been saying, but are not working now. I’m using wordpress 2.7 and firefox. When I click any of the buttons i get a message saying

    “Are you sure you want to do this?

    Please try again.”

    Please try again is a link that, when clicked, takes me to the edit posts page within the popup window itself. Very strange. Anyone figured this out yet?

    Found the answer. I simply DOWNgraded my Flash to v. 9 and it all works great.

    easier to say I believe…

    have a look at this link here:

    … could be a possible solution, if it works for me I am going to come back here

    Solution (for me):

    WP-ContactForm Version 1.5.1 breaks the new interface for adding media and pictures to posts. Will return ‘Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again’

    Deactivate this!

    The complete vbridge plugin also breaks the interface for adding pictures to posts.

    I’m using wordpress 2.5 i got the issue with “add media” but this post help me to solve the problem.
