Can't Add Media to Page/Product with WordPress 3.5

I reset it using my FTP login with Filezilla.

I followed these instructions:
Via FTP or your host’s file manager, navigate to the wp-contents folder (directory)
Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename the folder “plugins” to “plugins.hold”
Login to your WordPress administration menus (/wp-admin)
Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename “plugins.hold” back to “plugins”

Try the Phpmyadmin method. It is needed in some situations.

I just went in to make the adjustment using PHPmyadmin and the Option value for active plugins was already “a:0:{}” as described in the instructions.

Any other suggestions? Something else must be going on. I’ve literally done everything listed.

Try adding define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); to the bottom of your wp-config.php file (just before the require_once line).

I get this error now: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘,’ in /home/swappsee/swappsee.com/wp-config.php on line 99

Should I add the code above the required_once line or in front of it?

Wait I messed that one up. I missed the “define.” Trying again.

That worked!!

Thanks SO much! I was pulling my hair out. Do I need to leave that code in for now? Can I start to reactivate my plugins as well or could there still be an issue with the plugins?

Above.

Can I start to reactivate my plugins as well or could there still be an issue with the plugins?

I’d suggest re-activating them one by one – checking the site carefully after each re-activation.

jennifer104, the problem is Google Page Speed. We’re working for a fix here at DH, and we have a couple options that are semi-perfect. Until then, though, we recommend you either leave that line in your wp-config.php or turn off pagespeed.

I’m really glad you found the answer here ?? If you need any help from our DreamHost gurus, give a shout. We’re here for you too!

Awesome!! Thanks so much esmi. I had the exact same issue and it couldn’t have come at a worse time. I’ve been trying to figure out a fix for a couple days… and likewise did everything I could find (I just found this post thankfully).
I’m also on Dreamhost.

Mike E. – can you keep us posted on if you all fix the issue for dreamhost customers? And if we should ever remove that added piece of code or what else you’d recommend? Yall are always so helpful.

Thanks Everyone!

nobledenim, I will do my best to hit back all the threads I’ve seen about this. ??

You’re welcome, and thank you for being patient and understanding!

I also just uploaded W/P 3.5 and cannot seem to upload pictures to my library. My custom them is also missing the pictures with only empty boxes where they should be. I see some of you have figured out how to get around this issue for the moment, but could someone please explain it in laymen terms. I can log onto my Dreahhost PHP Admin but from that point have no idea what I’m looking at or how to proceed.

Thanks,

BTCoombs – The file you want to edit first is wp-config.php and add define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );

I went and added that for you. If that doesn’t solve the issue, what error are you getting when you try to upload images?
