  There is no longer an “add media” button on the page where I create a new post. There is only an option to “create a gallery”, but I would like to choose the exact positioning of the photos among the text in my post. Where did the “add media” button go in this updated wordpress?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thank you so much for your prompt response; I was getting super frustrated with the missing button! It works via the Dashboard route :)

  Yes indeed it does work on the dashboard of your own blog. You’re welcome.
