Cant "Add Media" to Blog Post
-
I can use the “Add Media” button when creating or editing a “Page,” but I cannot when trying to create or edit a Blog “Post.”
The button appears to see the click because it jerks down when clicked. However for pages it triggers the pop up window with the library of images to chose from and for Blog Posts it does absolutely nothing.
I tried Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on my very new Intel based PC.
I searched the source code for each page for “add media”
I don’t see anything obviously different, but I am not a programmer.

<p>You can upload and insert media (images, audio, documents, etc.) by clicking the Add Media button. You can select from the images and files already uploaded to the Media Library, or upload new media to add to your page or post. To create an image gallery, select the images to add and click the “Create a new gallery” button.</p><p>You can also embed media from many popular websites including Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and others by pasting the media URL on its own line into the content of your post/page. Please refer to the Codex to learn more about embeds.</p> </div>Line 761

I want to add the I noticed that Adding a Post includes an additional script that refers to “Add Media”
/wp-includes/js/tinymce/langs/wp-langs-en.js?ver=4603-20170530
line 475 (only including the start of the line and how it shows Add Media
tinyMCE.addI18n( lang + “.wordpress”, {add_media: “Add Media”,
I also just noticed the Visual or WYSISYG Editor does not show or function at all when Adding Posts, but it is fine when Adding Pages….
