Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 3.3.1 killed my Media Upload button and HTML/Visual switchNow it’s working. I don’t know if this is related, but if so, maybe it will provide a clue:
I left my wordpress project open all night and came back to it first thing this morning. Tried to use the Add Media and Gravity Forms buttons again with the same results: greyed out screen but no insert window.
Later, while working in Firefox 11.0 on windows, I realized I’d added a page last night with the Posts template, but my Permalinks were still set to Custom Structure: ‘/’. The URL for that post page was just the domain, so there was a conflict.
I changed Permalinks to Postname. A few minutes later I clicked on the Add Media button – forgetting it didn’t work – and it worked! The Gravity Forms button now works also.

In reply to: 3.3.1 killed my Media Upload button and HTML/Visual switchFYI I just ran into this same problem today.
I just upgraded to WP 3.3.1 on a fresh installation I originally installed earlier this year, in order to build a demo site for a presentation tomorrow. I just tried to insert the first image, and ran into this bug.
My screen goes grey as normal and I see the little progress indicator for about 1 second or less. Then the indicator goes away but the screen remains greyed out. The Insert Media window does not open.
NOTE: The problem exists with both the Upload Media button AND the icon for inserting a Gravity form. So maybe it’s not an upload media button-specific issue, but a problem with that functionality?
I’m using Mozilla Firefox 11.0 on Windows7. My husband is also using the same version of Firefox on his Windows7, and the Add Media button works fine on his PC! Same website. Same login. Same everything.
I’m using the Canvas theme by Woo, with only a few plugins:
I scoured the forums and found the usual advice about deactivating plugins. I deactivated them, and I still had the problem.
So I tried the next suggestion, which was to try another browser.
It works in Chrome and MSIE. It works find in Firefox 3.6.17 on my Ubuntu Linux box.
It continued to work fine as I reactivated my plugins.
But it doesn’t work in Firefox on Windows7.
If I right click on the Upload Media button, it opens up fine in a new browser tab. I can upload images, rename the titles, etc. But when I click “Insert into Post”, the page goes blank and the image is not inserted into the post or page on other tab.
I hope someone can figure out what’s going on. At least I have other options. This is apparently a subtle but major bug on an essential piece of WordPress functionality.
Good luck!
Ah-ha! That was it. I just found the information that the Fieldset is required in the Help. Thank you! Best, Mary
I was able to put the form short code into a text widget in a site I’m building using the Weaver theme. Unfortunately, it’s breaking the footer div on the page:

Note how the footer extends across the width of the frame, and is not included within the page outline shadow as it should be.
The W3C Validator is complaining about the Visual Form Builder html tags.
I tried the functions.php workaround, but that did not seem to have any effect.
Any suggestions? I like this plugin a lot and it would be great if I can get it to work in a sidebar widget without breaking my layout.
Thanks very much!
