I want to report for other having such as issue that I have finally resolved mine. After 3 months of of trying to fix it on my own as well as seeking help here on this forum (without success), I finally broke down and asked my web host support for assistance (without expecting much). Low and behold, within hours, the replied with a suggestion to add a new Allow ip-address to my .htaccess file and it worked. My media library grid view worked again and this fixed my problems setting my theme’s header image as well as posting posts with images. I admit not knowing too much about the htaccess and why it had such an impact but I can finally start moving forward after being stuck and almost out of business. Maybe this might help others who have run into a problem with a broken media library.

The problem is not with a page per se. It is with the Media Library. Read my tickets as well as many others. Grid view won’t load and I cannot change images on the sites header images, etc.

I have performed all suggested steps and still no luck.

I think I should limit the symptom we’re trying to shoot to just the hopefully simpler one that the Media Gallery won’t display it’s “grid view”. List view seems to display but not grid view. Grid view just spins forever. I have the suspicion that if I got to the bottom of this problem, the rest of my image problems might behave.

In fact if you were to google “wordpress media grid view not working” or “wordpress media library loading forever”, you would see this same complaint from many, many users.

I haven’t come across a recipe for resolution. It looks like folk have had this problems since 4.0 and even 4.0.1 was said to fix it:
Version 4.0.1 also fixes some smaller bugs:

Stability improvements to the media gallery grid view.
Bug description: Some users experienced problems with the grid view in the media library – images where not shown in these cases while images were displayed in media library using list view without issues.

I would like to think that in 4.6.1 I would have no issues. Another thing bothers me is that I read about folder and file permission problems within w/-content/uploads. I saw that mine were 775 and 666 where 755 and 644 was preferred. So my reinstall of wordpress while saving my wp-content did fix this but I tried changing the permissions by hand/cpanel. No effect.

Besides it being a purely media problem, I have determined that when I do change images in Customize (be they header images, logo or sliders) then Save and Publish, when I try then to leave Customize I am presented with the Leave or Stay dialog as I would if I had not saved at all. No wonder my changes do not end up being in my web site me thinks.

I should add that I am trying to fix this while keeping the site up and running if at all possible.

I will begin to follow these steps. I had hoped for a quick remedy after seeing other posts around the web saying that this was a commonly experienced problem under version 4.4. I figured that at some time I was running 4.4 but graduated to 4.6.1 and wondered if the “known bug” had been fixed yet.

You debug steps are excellent and I will follow them. When you say “resetting the plugins folder” do you mean to empty it and start over by installing my plugins? That is if deactivating and reactivating my plugins doesn’t uncover a cuprit?

BTW, I have tried reinstalling 4.6.1 but wonder if it would be better to first delete all files and folders except wp-content and wp-config.php as you recommend then to reinstall.

More information? Well, if you want full symptoms:
– If I click Media Library, I get a blank page even though I should be seeing 2 to 3 pages of images. Like the documented issue, if I click on List view rather than grid view, I get my list.
– When i try to add new image to Header image, the Media Library shows the aforementioned blank page while spinner spins and spins. There is no way to click list view so it’s stuck. I can though click Upload Files. When I select an image from disk, it loads into the media library and I can click Select and Crop and either slect Crop of skip crop and the image appears back in the Header Image dialog as well as in the web page shown. Upon clicking Save and Publish, it never shows up in the resulting actual web page.
– When i later go to the list view in the media library I can see the dozens of copies that I have uploaded over the last few days of trying this and they are in the uploads/2016/10 directory on my web site.

Thank you Martin Jackson for responding. However, for your and others information, I have gone through a re-install of 4.6.1 and redone the operation to upload and select an image for the header image but it still failed. Was reinstalling the correct process?

I have spent countless hours thrashing as my images were not showing up in my media library adn upon uploading one trying to use it as my header image and for it never to appear. I finally found this issue post. While I’m sure I probably spent sometime earlier running 4.4.x, I am currently running 4.6.1. Does a wordpress bug still exist and that is the reason for my troubles? Is there anything I can do to get by this? My business requires that I fix this thing and add new images.

Very good and thank you. I don’t understand exactly why the old code failed other than to say that it isn’t the currently desired technique? I changed the above code to this and it works fine

‘
$query = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘category_name’ => ‘Teams’ ) );
while ($query->have_posts()): $query->the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
‘

I am guessing no one is watching this forum so I’ll move on to another plugin since I really need to use some PHP that works.

No offense I figured there had to be a way without coding. I don’t fear coding but I don’t know CSS. I happened upon the .one-column template in style.css. Further searching told me to:

when you click on edit page in Page Attributes there is Templates dropdown click on the arrow and you will the templates there select the one you want.

I did that and Viola! no more sidebar, no more comments.

Thanks though!

Thanks, I’ll look at the solution but never a fee which is why I came here to blow the cyber whistle. I’d report the person if i knew where because, as I said, I was shocked! Shocked I tell you!

Shockingly I justr received an email from someone wanting to give me the answer FOR A FEE!

Is that the community spirit I can expect from this forum?
