Cant add new media

  • I can’t seem to add any new media to my media library

    I’ve tried accessing it via media – the add new tab. It asks me to choose a file. Selected small 29kb jpeg picture and when i try to upload, it comes up with “error saving media attachment”

    Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    This is the first time i’m accessing my word press admin for my site from a macbook – previously used windows xp machine. Does this make a difference ?

    Thanks

  • This happened to me when I updated a plugin. Once I disabled all the plugins, I could use the media settings again. I turned all of the plugins back on one by one and it resolved the issue.

    Thanks for the advice but firstly, what is a plugin? and secondly, how do i disable one?

    A plugin is a feature you add to your site like a Facebook or Twitter share button. If you don’t know what a plugin is, you likely didn’t install any but to be sure this isn’t the problem, check to see if any are enabled by going to the Plugins tab in your dashboard. You will see a list of installed plugins. Under each are a set of controls which allow you to activate, deactivate and edit if allowed. Deactivate any that are active and try to upload your media.
