  The insert media has stopped working on my dashboard. I’ve used this feature for a few years, so I already know how to use it. Today, the “insert media” button simply does not activate the next step.

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

  Don’t use the New Post button. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/blog-post-published-blank?replies=11

  This does not apply.

  I have composed the text and scheduled it (to back it up as always). I went to “Add Media”, then clicked the “select files” button, and nothing happened. This has worked for me for the past three years. I think the problem is at the WP site.

  Ah, how much room is in your media library? What browser and version are you using?

  2.7 GB remaining. I’m using IE9 update 9.

  I have been using this configuration every day the past several months without any problems. Why now?

  If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first. If you cannot upgrade to IE 11 then download and use either Firefox or Chrome.

  I had my site all set up for posting and inserting media at the top of the page. Suddenly that option is not there, media inserted completely distorts the text.
  the pictures cannot be repositioned.
  I cannot copy and paste as before for the text
  when I try to edit it suddenly removes all the paragraphing
  What is going on??

  I have written posts now for a year and a half and when I am finished, I hit insert media and upload from my picture file. I can’t do that now on my PC only can do it from my I-Phone. What is the problem all of a sudden?

  1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  NOTE 1: If you are using the outdated IE9 browser version, which was released in 2011, when in fact the most recent version is IE11, then upgrade or download another browser here http://browsehappy.com
