Add media tab not working

Hi,

You say ‘Add Media Tab’ isn’t clickable, do you mean the Add media button ?

I can’t reproduce this, and I have done quite a lot of 4.5 testing – Just tested again, by creating a new post, click the add media button to insert media and save, all went fine on a newly upgraded system.

What version of Frontier Post are you using ?

Have you tried to clear your browser cache ?

Does this happen for all profiles ?

Yes, when I click the add media button, nothing happens, the browser to upload a file or use a media file doesn’t open. I’m using Version 4.0.4

Actually, it only happens in 2 out of 3 websites, I’ll do a full plugin/theme test tonight and get back to you.

Hi,

it sounds like a caching issue with the WordPress Media javascript libraries – I do not believe the issue is related to Frontier Post.

Quite a lot of changes in version wp 4.5

If you get stuck:

In version 4.0.6 changed the code so media scripts only will be loaded on frontier post pages, this might solve your issue.

Version 4.0.6 is not marked as the stable version, as the changes came in late in my 4.5 testing cycle – But I and some users has already tested it and it works fine. This change will be included in the next release.

You can download version 4.0.6 from the developer tab (or here)

Okay thanks! I’ll test the 4.0.6. developer version, why would the cache issue be a problem on two of the three sites and not all three?

Is the 3 site on the same domain (host) ?

Could also be another plugin that is causing the issue – same configuation on all sites ?

I’m just waiting for the client to stop using it so that I can test for any plugin or theme conflicts, I’ll also test the developer version of the plugin and see if that helps. ??

Any updates ?

No joy as yet, ??

This isn’t just your plugin, and it’s not a plugin conflict – it’s effecting all calls to the wp_editor’s add media button in the front end (not the admin section) since 4.5. Trying to fix it on my own plugin currently. Has the location of the JS been changed so that it only fires in the admin section perhaps?

Here’s my post on it: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/add-media-doesnt-work-in-front-end-since-45-update?replies=1#post-8298717

I’ve found the cause – it’s the new version of jQuery in 4.5 that breaks it. I’ve fixed it by overwriting the jquery folder in wp-includes/js, now looking for a more practical long term solution that doesn’t potentially break other bits of WordPress.

I’ve fixed it with a tiny custom plugin – see the answer to the post in my second link.

I will make this ticket resolved.

There’s a larger problem at the heart of this (something I think to do with css) that needs addressing. My fix is only temporary.

A patch 4.5.1 will ship within days (https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2016/04/20/4-5-1-release-candidate-tomorrow-april-21st/)

In addition to the tinymce bug, you can see additional changes: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/tickets/minor

In addition to this wp 4.5 has an update to jquery that can break theme functionality, as you have pointed out earlier – I believe theme authors need to fix their code, as the new jquery version works as expected

In my oppionion Frontier Post works with version 4.5 and the new jquery version, but if you think differently, please let me know.
