Is there a way to disable the new Media Manager?

@schuminweb,
nope, this was A.Morita magic and I don’t have any plan on putting this in the Repo.

It is as is, I’ve just joined all the parts in a working plugin.

Copy, tweak, install, welcome to open source!

I find the new Media Manager so sluggish, so I included all your suggestions @a.Morita. Most things work well enough, except the following:

For files uploaded through the old media manager re-activated this way, I can only insert the smallest (150×150) and the original image size.

For files uploaded through the new media manager, I can use all usual sizes to insert – regardless whether I do this then through the new or old interface, as long as I did use the new interface for the upload itself.

Any ideas what this could be, and how this could be fixed?

Thanks @brasofilo !!! Works perfectly. Brilliant.

Anyone have any idea why they ruined media manager so much in 3.5?

Just wanted to say thanks for the plugin — I’ve had clients freaking out over the new media manager. They can’t figure out how to order the pix in a gallery and they don’t like the interface. This is a life saver.

Thank you all very much for your work on this!!!

I just upgraded today and when I saw the new add media box, I knew it was going to be a disaster for my users.

This fixed it up great ??

Thanks again,

Chris

Tried it. It Works. @brasofilo your the man!!

you saved my bacon

@all

I’ve updated the plugin. It was executing in all admin pages when it only needs to run in the pages post.php and post-new.php (and they cover all post types).

This was producing a conflict in another plugin page, so updating is highly encouraged.

Version 1.1 at the same address:
https://gist.github.com/brasofilo/4570587

hey brasofilo, how do i install that php file you uploaded? i don’t know much about gist or even what to do with it.

i’m taking php in college, so i’m pretty new at this. if it’s something that would take a while to explain, do you have any links to help me out with what to do?

anything would really help. i really want this plugin you made lol

actually, nevermind.

i completely solved the shitty lagging issue without using your code. the new media manager runs perfectly, therefore i don’t have a need to switch back to the old.

here’s what i did.

1. set my global php version on my host to 5.4
2. added this code to admin-ajax.php and async-upload.php

ini_set(“display_errors”, 0);
ini_set(“error_reporting”, 0);
error_reporting(0);

i also installed this plugin to do image resizing automatically (or manually if you want)

that’s literally all i did. now the media manager works great, just like it does when i run it locally on my computer (problem only came up when i uploaded onto my host)

ps i’m also getting 0 errors on uploading files as well. everything is smooth

cheers

Hi wadewest,
this code doesn’t solve any bug. It a matter of User Interface, it’s for people who doesn’t like the new uploader.

You seem to have edited core files. Don’t do that. Everything you need to modify in WP has to (and can) be done through the files .htaccess, wp-config.php and everything inside /wp-content/, leave the rest alone. The code you’re showing goes inside wp-config.

best regards ??

Thank you brasofilo, that’s helped me too.

Hi …

brasofilo, thanks for this code, I think this is exactly that I need. However, I am an graphic designer who ventures in wordpress, and I don’t have any idea how to install your code. Can you help-me with an step-by-step?

Thanks in advance!
