gallery placeholder in visual editor disappeared after upgrading to 3.6

Don’t you find the Add Media link to add pictures?

The addMedia link is present, and it allow me to add new galleries or images to my pages and posts.

What is missing is the placeholder of already existing galleries in the visual editor: if I switch to the text editor, the gallery is visible

[gallery type="rectangular" link="file" ids="985,981,983,835,775,390,402,387,401,834,785,796,394,686,739,688,393,376,410,399,403,380,391,583,389,839,386,385,395,396,842,830,641,378"]

but has completely disappeared from the visual editor (the page hosting the gallery seems to be empty), so it is not possible to click on the “edit gallery” button

Are you using any gallery plugin and if so, have you updated it? Which one?

I am only using jetpack in order to use “tiled galleries”, that provide the mosaic template

I have tried to disable the jetpack plugin, and the issue is still there, so I don’t think that it causes the problem

I am having this issue too since updating to 3.6 – for me, any images, including galleries, do not show when they’re uploaded into a post. They show when the post is previewed, but not in the editing screen. Very frustrating!

I think that the problem is related to the gallery placeholder dimension. The placeholder IS INTO THE VISUAL EDITOR, but its size has been reduced almost to a point. If you are able to select it with drag and drop selection, you can resize it and the “edit gallery” button will appear.

Is there a way to avoid this auto resize of the gallery placeholder?

Switch themes. The layout of the visual editor is controlled by the theme, and if that’s got a weird bug/CSS quirk, it would do it.

(The switch to to TEST, not a fix)

I have switched theme but the problem persists

Have you tried:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

I also have this problem with galleries after upgrading to 3.6. Pictures alone are shown ok.

Additionally I don’t see the ‘More’ tag in the visual editor, although it is shown as <!–more–> in the HTML editor.

I’ve solved it by clearing the browser cache.

In firefox:

Tools > Options > Content > Advanced > Clear Now (under Cached Web Content)

For me the solution reported below does not work:

Tools > Options > Content > Advanced > Clear Now (under Cached Web Content)

Can you please suggest a workaround for this known bug?

I’ve compared a page containing a gallery in WP 3.5(that in my case is not afflicted from the problem) and 3.6: I figured out, that in wordpress 3.6 the “img.wp-gallery” class containing the “edit gallery button”, is missing the related css rule.

In wordpress 3.5 the “img.wpGallery” has a related css rule

img.wpGallery {
border: 1px dashed #888;
background: #f2f8ff url(“img/gallery.png”) no-repeat scroll center center;
width: 99%;
height: 250px;
}

inherited from content.css file.

I have checked my content.css file for the wordpress 3.6 installation, and I found that the rule is correctly inserted:

img.wp-gallery {
border: 1px dashed #888;
background: #f2f8ff url(“img/gallery.png”) no-repeat scroll center center;
width: 99%;
height: 250px;
}

Why the class is specified in content.css but at the same time is not loaded into the final rendered page?

This is still happening… is there a way to report this to WordPress?
