Hi Chandra,
I got rid of previous theme as it wasn’t stacked well and all our efforts to put it back on track went in vain.
I just checked my new theme on gtmetrics, it scored just 57% in spite of opening in less than 3 seconds. I’m not sure how it works.

It’s been fixed by re-installing the latest version of WP…But this is something I did some days ago and the error returned.

Please keep the thread open as I might need to come back for help (a permanent solution)

The point is, media library isn’t working at all, it doesn’t show the pics , nor does it show any warning message; nor can you enter the media library. Even featured Image option is not working.

Please have a look at the screenshots attached. I really regret having upgraded to this version on WP ??

Yes, I have reviewed the steps but I don’t think there is anything out there that addresses the issue I’m dealing with ??

Hi Caroline,
Could you please look into this issue which is a bit more weird:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/media-library-has-stopped-working-after-upgrading-to-wp-351

Thanks a lot brother; I appreciate ??
I can go and have some peaceful sleep now!!

Could you please tell me where you are located? I live in Delhi and Mousumi is asleep….she literally cried today when the developer gave in.

If you go to the front page of the website and scroll down, you will find Mousumi’s email id. If you come on Skype or google chat and help her out on any of your convenient time, we’ll be so grateful to you.

PS: she will do as suggested..tomorrow we are going to create localhost n do the testing.
Not sure if BlueHost can provide us the backup of the site in back date.

He said this was the previous timthumb.php which he removed

He said that timthumb was putting the cpu under a lot of pressure and created too many queries and hence he removed.

No it wan’t working fine on localhost (he said so)
we do not have localhost installed on our computer….He was right in one way that the website started opening very fast.

Take a look into one more screenshot and the mail which she sent to the developer…He could not reply to her following question:

1. First of all, visit one of the category pages (visit https://www.successstories.co.in/motivational/) I have attached a visual screenshot as well as the page source of the same page. Please ensure that you look at each encircled area as well as the texts written next to it.

Now have a look at the screenshot link: https://i49.tinypic.com/156xpbk.jpg

The following two categories are completely gone; no image is showing up:

https://www.successstories.co.in/photo-gallery/

https://www.successstories.co.in/video/

Click on this link: https://i45.tinypic.com/2wf8m4w.png

You will notice the difference…the pics aren’t getting accepted in a standard size and they look uneven and messy.

The developer is gone….he is not going to fix it

I am uploading the screenshot url..you will realize the difference…predefined images aren’t being accepted ??

Sure…I am going to show you an old snapshot of the front page..Give me two minutes.
