Latest Release Breaks Image Uploader

Thanks for this report, and for taking the time to try the new version in both WP 4.0 and WP 3.9.2.

I have found and fixed two MLA defects which might also address the issue you reported. These were identified in an earlier support topic:

not saving caption / description data on upload

It would be very helpful if you could try the “Development Version”, which contains the fixes. Go to the “Developers” tab above and click on the “Development Version” link to download it. If you would like a copy by e-mail, you can send me your contact information from the Contact Us page at our web site:

I will leave this topic unresolved for now, and I regret any inconvenience this caused you and the time required to find and test the new release. Please let me know if you try the interim version and if it fixes your problem. If it does not, could you outline the uploading steps you took to cause it? Thanks again for your help and for your interest in the plugin.

Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately, the developer version doesn’t work either. When I try to add an image to a post, no images show up. It won’t let me upload an image either.

Thank you for making the effort to load and test the Development Version, and for the additional information about the problem, which is very helpful.

When you say “no images show up“, is it only the image thumbnails that fail to appear? Do you see the toolbar at the top of the window with the dropdown controls and the search box?

Your issue may be similar to this one from an earlier topic:

MLA breaking Add Featured Image

In that case a combination of plugins caused the problem. The problem only occurred when the WordPress “CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS” option was set to “true” (the default). You could try adding a line to your wp-config.php file to avoid the conflict: define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); This line must be above the ” require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’); line in the wp-config.php file.

You can also try disabling the MLA enhancements instead of deactivating MLA completely. Go to the Settings/Media Library Assistant General tab and scroll down to the “Media Manager/Media Grid Enhancements” section, then uncheck the first two boxes to prevent MLA from downloading any JavaScript to your browser. Scroll to the bottom and click “Save Changes” to save your work. If that works, let me know.

Of course, you can continue to use the earlier MLA version. You should know, however, that older MLA versions do not work well with the new WP 4.0 Media Grid view in the Media/Library submenu. That’s why I really want to get the latest version working for everyone.

If you can give me a list of the other plugins you have installed and activated I can try to reproduce the problem. Thank you again for your patience and your help.

Unchecking the first two options under “Media Manager/…” fixed it. I didn’t try the other method.

Thank you!

Thanks for your update and for taking the time to post a list of your plugins. I will have a look at them and see if I can reproduce your problem.

I am happy that unchecking the Media Manager/Media Grid Enhancements options gave you some relief. Of course, you can’t make use of the MLA enhancements like filtering by taxonomy term or full taxonomy support in the ATTACHMENT DETAILS area while these boxes are unchecked. If you need those features, give the other method a try and let me know if it helps.

Thanks for your help, your patience and your interest in the plugin.

I spend some time to track our problem and the solution is:

Media Manager Enhanced Search Media box
Check this option to enable search box enhancements.

This option MUST be enabled otherwise select year / date or Att categories are dead in Media Modal popup.

adding: .media-frame .mla-search-box { display: none; } t.v. Then we can update to latest version and keep up with other MLA goodies…

@jonas,

Thanks for your update, which I believe belongs to another support topic with a very similar title:
