# Media Library empty when using insert into post

 * When I use the “add media” in a post or page, the window pops up with an empty
   media library. I have plenty of mp3’s and images in my library. If I navigate
   to _Dashboard > Media > Library_, then they all show. What’s up with this?
 * To make sure it isn’t some plugin causing an issue, I deactivated them all. No
   success. Any thoughts?

 * Ok, I found the culprit. I created a php.ini in my wp-admin folder to increase
   the size of uploads. Well, that was a mistake.
