Media upload page giving me 404

  • I just noticed that my media upload page is giving me a 404 and I have no idea why or how to fix it. I haven’t done any major changes to the site since I last used the upload page nor have I installed any new plugins.

    I have tried removing WP Admin + WP Includes
    I have tried disabling all plugins
    I have removed htaccess and clicked save in permalinks settings to generate a new one.

    This did not fix the problem. Please advise.

    If I go to ACP -> Media Library -> Add it will work fine to upload images.

  • Hello Danniee,

    Can you please try below solution if that helps.

    1) Log in to your WordPress root directory and rename .htaccess to something like .htaccess_old.

    2) Next, login to your WordPress admin area and navigate to Settings -> Permalinks Next, choose a different permalinks structure from what you currently have and click the Save Changes button.

    3) Next, select the original permalinks structure you had and click the Save Changes button once more. Note, this will create a new .htacess file in your server. Fixes the images returning the 404 error.

    Hope this helps.

    Let me know if any query.

    Thanks.

    Hi @kartiks16 and thank you for your kind help. I fixed this problem by deleting all cookies from my browser. It was a simple as that.

    Thank you
