    Hello, I am trying to make simple edits to a page on my site but I am having a very strange issue. When I go to open the media library to add a picture to the appropriate column on the page it will not stop loading. I have waited as long as 8 minutes and it will still be continuously loading. I can upload media to the library and see all my media in the menu but not any where else. I have attempted to load the media library on other pages, search for the specific image I am trying to use, use the filters to search through the library, still nothing. Has anyone ran into an issue like this before? I am at a complete loss.

    Hi there,

    Here are a few possible reasons that comes in mind:

    1. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes plugins can cause conflicts. Try deactivating all your plugins, and then reactivate them one by one to see if one of them is causing the issue.
    2. Switch Themes: Temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty-One. If the media library loads properly, it might be an issue with your current theme.
    3. Increase Memory Limit: Sometimes the media library can have issues loading if there’s not enough memory. You can try increasing the PHP memory limit. Add this line to your wp-config.php file: define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );. For more information click here.
    4. Check File Permissions: Ensure that the file permissions for the uploads directory are correct. Typically, folders should be 755 and files should be 644. For more information click here.
    5. Browser Console: Check your browser’s console for any JavaScript errors. If there are errors, they might give you clues as to what is causing the issue. For more information click here.
    6. Update WordPress: Make sure your WordPress installation, plugins, and themes are all up to date.

    Remember to backup your site before making any changes, especially when editing files or changing themes.

    Best regards,
