How to Fix Add Media Button Not Working in WordPress

26.04.2018add media button, common wordpress errors, Tutorials, wordpress errorsEditorial Staff

Recently one of our users reported that the ‘Add Media’ button on their WordPress site has suddenly stopped working. This problem does not display any error or warning which leaves users clueless about why their ‘Add Media’ button is not working. In this article, we will show you how to easily fix the ‘Add Media’ button not working issue in WordPress.

What causes the WordPress ‘Add Media’ Button to Stop Working?

This problem is commonly caused by conflicting scripts or stylesheets loaded by WordPress plugins or themes installed on your site. The default behavior of WordPress is to load all required scripts and stylesheets by combining the requests.

This is usually done in the WordPress admin area to improve performance and speed.

The WordPress post editor uses JavaScript for all buttons on the screen including the add media button. A conflict can stop JavaScript from working which will disable the ‘Add Media’ button.

That being said, let’s take a look at how to troubleshoot and fix the ‘Add Media’ button not working in WordPress.

Fixing Add Media Button Not Working Issue in WordPress

The quick fix is to add the following code to your wp-config.php file. You can do this by editing wp-config.php file and adding this code just before the line that says ‘That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging’.

define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );

This code simply tells WordPress to load each script separately which helps avoiding a JavaScript conflict with buggy scripts and the core WordPress features.

After you have added the code, go ahead and the visit post edit screen to see if the add media button is working as expected.

Note: Adding this code is not a proper long-term solution because you still have a script that is causing the issue. An easier way to find the source of the problem is by using the inspect tool. It will show you console errors which can lead you to the source of the conflict.

If you want a long-term fix for this issue, then you need to perform the basic WordPress troubleshooting tips to figure out which plugin or theme may be causing the issue.

We strongly recommend that you do this on your staging site instead of a live site. Here’s a step by step guide on how to create a WordPress staging site. All the best WordPress hosting companies like Bluehost, SiteGround, WP Engine, and Liquid Web offer 1-click staging functionality.

On your staging site, you need to start by deactivating all your WordPress plugins and then check if it fixed the ‘Add Media’ button. If it does, then this means one of the plugins was causing the issue.

You can now activate the plugins one-by-one, and after activating a plugin check the ‘Add Media’ button. This will help you find out which plugin is causing the issue. After you find the culprit, you can replace it with another plugin or ask plugin author for help.

If deactivating plugins doesn’t solve the issue, then the next step is to temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Seventeen.

If switching to the default theme fixes the issue for you, then this means your theme is causing the conflict. You can ask theme author for support or switch to a different WordPress theme.

Once you find the source of the problem on your staging site, then you can apply the fix on your live WordPress site.

Do you want to import and export WordPress users from one website to another? This could be really helpful when you are merging multiple sites and want to automatically shift all users from existing websites. In this article, we will share how you can easily import and export users in WordPress.

Import and Export Users in WordPress

Why or When You May Need to Import and Export Users in WordPress?

While there are several use-cases for importing and exporting WordPress users, the most common scenarios when you need to import and export users are:

When you purchase a website and want to merge the content and user base.
When you want to consolidate two sites and merge their content and user base.
When you want to import all users into an email list or your CRM.

On large multi-author sites or a membership site in WordPress, each user profile has tons of useful data (like profile photo, bio information, social links, and more).

While you can surely ask them to recreate their profile, it’s inconvenient and not an ideal user experience.

Let’s take a look at how you can easily import and export users from one WordPress site to another.

Exporting Users in WordPress

First thing you need to do is install and activate the Import Export WordPress Users plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you need to visit Users » User Import Export page and scroll down to the export section.

User Export

On this page, you need to select a user role to export from your website, select fields that you want to export with the user, and more.

By default, all user fields will be exported. If you don’t want to export a specific item, then you can simply uncheck it from the columns section.

After selecting the settings, you need to click on the Export button. It will save a CSV export file in your computer.

You can use this file to import users into another WordPress site.

Importing Users in WordPress

This step will also require the same Import Export WordPress Users plugin that we used above to export users. Make sure that you have this plugin installed and activated on the site where you want to import users.

Next, you need to visit Users » User Import Export page and click on the Import Users button.

Import Users

On this page, first you need to click on the Browse button and then select the CSV file you want to import. After selecting the CSV file, you need to click the Upload file and import button.

Upload File

Once done, you will see a success message with details on how many users imported, status message, and more details on the process.

User Import

The plugin will not only import users, it will also automatically assign them correct user role and fill in other profile settings.
