Media library won't load

  • For the past few days whenever I try to add media to a post the library will not load anything. The wheel just spins but nothing shows up. When I select “media” from the navigation bar on the left it shows all the files that I have previously uploaded. Also, when I try to add new media it gives me an error “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.” Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I think they are the permissions on the folder content -> upload

    Everything was showing until recently, and I can see all the images in the media tab. Where can I check the permissions for the images?

    Did you ever find a fix for these problems, acobberson? I’ve been having the same two issues ie the library will not load (spinning wheel but no result) and the error message when I try to add new media. It has only started happening in the past month.

    Same problem with me, since updating to WP 4.0. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Graphene theme and that hasn’t made a difference. Not sure if it has anything to do with the error I now have: “Notice: add_custom_background is deprecated since version 3.4! Use add_theme_support( ‘custom-background’, $args ) instead. in /hermes/bosoraweb125/b1167/ipg.trentonmochambercom/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3201”. I have searched and searched through the folder wp-includes/functions.php and cannot find “add_custom_background” anywhere. Any ideas?

    We have the same issue happening on our site as well… Does anyone have a solution?

    I found my isolated issue, it may help others:

    I had the issue of media folder working, but not loading when accessed through post editing, ie “set featured image” or “add media”.

    I found this line of code in my functions.php file and resolved the problem once removed.

    add_filter( 'image_size_names_choose', 'custom_image_sizes_choose' );

    I fixed this by having WordPress reinstall itself. For me, it appeared that some virus was putting nonsense into the AJAX HTTP responses.

    To have WordPress reinstall itself:

    1. Go to Dashboard > Updates.
    2. Click “Re-install Now”.
