The site hasn’t moved to a new server. The only plugin that messes with media files would be WP Smush, which is an image compression plugin. However that plugin has been used on all of the images on the site, so it seems odd that it would only cause problems with one folder of images. Although I realize nothing is impossible.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it doesn’t clarify the issue. Perhaps my wording was unclear.

I realize that what you’ve described is the proper behavior, however my media library is not displaying that behavior. Instead, images that were uploaded in October, 2013, which are in the 2013/10 folder on the server, are displaying in random sections of the media library, not the October 2013 section as they should be. For example, one particular image which was uploaded in October 2013 displays under July 2015 instead, even though I’ve confirmed that it is in the 2013/10 folder on the server. Does that make sense?

Thanks

Okay, that is what is causing the problem, now I can fix it. Thank you so much for your help!

I still get the same problem with all plugins deactivated.

I just tried replacing my current header.php with the original Twenty Thirteen header.php and it still shows the same problem, which means that it’s not a problem with header.php, correct? Is there another file that I should check?

I’ve made quite a few changes to the header.php file, so it looks quite different. What should I be looking for? Would it help if I posted the contents of my current header.php?

I hadn’t gotten a chance to deactivate any plugins, so it must be something to do with my theme. The problem is, I have absolutely no idea where to go from here. What could be causing this?

I just tried switching to the default Twenty Thirteen theme and the problem goes away.

I tried deactivating it just now, nothing changed.

Thank you very much, that cleared things up and I was able to fix the problem.
Thanks for the help!

Yes, I get the same result when I use twenty Thirteen and deactivate all plugins.

Is it possible that wordpress is loading a different version of jquery, other than 1.8? How would I check which version it is using?

Perhaps a link to the website would help.

I’ve already gotten rid of it, I only had it there for a moment to see if that fixed the problem.

To add my .js script I added the following to functions.php

function add_my_script() {
wp_enqueue_script(
    'bg-ad', // name your script so that you can attach other scripts and de-register, etc.
    get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/bg_ad_script.js', // this is the location of your script file
    array('jquery') // this array lists the scripts upon which your script depends
);}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_my_script' );

I’m not sure, but for some reason the script I’m using won’t work without it. The script wouldn’t work for me so I tried adding that bit of code directly to header.php just to test it and then it worked. Maybe there is something else wrong that I am missing?

Thats what did the trick! Thank you so much, this has been driving me nuts all day.
