 * I am using a theme called Creative by Nature. The feature that uploads pictures,
   music, video etc, for lack of a better term, doesn’t work. I need to open it 
   in a new tab, nothing happens when I hit the icons above the post composition
   field. I can enter information into the fields in the prompt to upload media,
   but nothing happens when I hit upload.
 * I’m sure there is something wrong with the theme, everything else works fine.
   I didn’t touch any of the related files as far as I know. What I am asking is
   that can I upload a cleaner file that would make this feature work?
 * Add post/page feature for this theme is kind of bare compared to other themes
   I use. I pretty much have to write all the HTML into the field.
 * This is a lazy person’s question, I don’t really mind writing the HTML to insert
   the pics etc, but I really want to start posting more frequently, and obviously
   this takes up a lot of time.
 * The moral of this story is what is the file(s) that control the Add page/post
   feature? Can I upload one from another theme? What would I have to change in 
   the code of the other files to make this work?
 * I hope this makes sense and thank you for your help. Here is the site I am talking
   about: [http://www.meghanchiampa.com ](http://meghanchiampa.com)

 * Hi rob, I don’t think so. I have other sites hosted in the same place and I haven’t
   had that problem. We are getting into territory where I might not know what I
   am talking about though.

 * I don’t get prompted with an error message or anything, as far as I know all 
   the links are dead I have no idea. I can upload photos and other files via the“
   Add Media” feature but I have to go to the Browser uploader. As far as I know
   everything regarding my browser is up to date.
 * Usually I just manually upload them to my server via FTP and write in the HTML
   when posting a photo.
