 * Images aren’t showing up in Post.
 * The image url works fine if I copy and paste into browser window but all I get
   in my Post is the Alt Text when I try to Add Media.

 * Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be
   able to offer much in the way of assistance.

 * I was able to get the image inserted by changing to text mode then inserting 
   with the img icon. I then coped the path of the image and pasted there.
 * It would still be nice to get “Add Media” tab to work in visual mode.

 * If the add media button is not working it may be that there is a javascript error.
   In Chrome, press control-shift-j to bring up the console. Then clcik add media.
   Any javascript errors will be highlighted in red in the console.
 * Either way it sounds like you have a corrupted install. To debug:
 * Deactivate all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-
   activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * Switch to the default theme TwentyFourteen to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. [Resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F).
 * Rebuild: Re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder and 
   wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress and
   plugins. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading
   the new ones.
