  • Download a fresh copy of WordPress, extract the wp-includes/media.php file and upload it to your site using FTP. And never, EVER, edit core WordPress files.

    You really do not want to ever modify files that came with WordPress. As you’ve discovered it can go really badly.

    Try downloading a fresh copy of WordPress 3.5.1 and re-upload all of the files in that zip file except for the wp-content directory. You can exclude that directory.

    Or just extract wp-includes/media.php and upload just that file.

    Once that’s done and you ar back and running: what were you trying to accomplish by editing that file?

    Edit: You were trying to change a color, I missed that.

    I will not be touching core file again

    Thanks again

    That border is controlled by your theme’s CSS – not by any core WordPress file. Where did you download the theme from?

    flexithemes, I had a look in the css file but could not see it. Thanks

    I’m sorry but as you are using a commercial theme, you need to seek support from the theme’s developer/vendor. We do not support commercial themes here.
