 * Hello,
 * Today, I find a problem about the select files (media) button not working.
    (
   Yesterday, I could select file and upload) But I can drag the images to media
   library. I try to deactive all plugin but still not work. I checked a permission
   of upload folder is 777. How to solve this problem?
 * Please advise.
 * Thank you,
    Thananit

 * Hi[.](http://mr-ginseng.com/curcuma/) Did you look the code of the page, is there
   is a problem or an error in links[.](http://siriusblack.org/curcuma/) It can 
   be your theme who block some buttons of the website. Is there any other things
   who don’t work ?

 * Having the EXACT same issue and it’s driving me crazy. Done all the troubleshooting
   I know to do. Next step is going to be a clean WordPress install and migrating
   the content and see if that helps.
 * Worked okay in Internet Explorer/Edge, but NOT Chrome or Firefox.
 * Please help…
