    I upgraded to 3.5.1 this evening. When i went to write a new post, I uploaded an image to the Media Gallery via the “Add Media” button. the image uploaded correctly to the Media Gallery, and I selected it and clicked the “Insert into Post”. this took me back to the New Post editing screen, but the image did not appear in the post.

    Then I clicked the tab in the upper right of the post window, switching from “Visual” to “Text” view. I am still unable to insert images into the post, and I am now also unable to switch back to “Visual” view.

    I have been able to reproduce this on the latest version of Firefox and Chrome. Clearing cache and restarting browser does not fix it.

    Deactivate all plugins and then check.

    OK, i deactivated all my plugins but it did not have an effect.

    i have tried it in Firefox and Chrome again, restarted each browser and cleared cache as well.

    If its not your plugins, then Its probably your theme. Deactivate the theme, and use any other standard theme like 2010 or whatever comes with the install and then try. If it works, then you need to see if the theme you are using has an update for the latest wp version.

    I also found a temp fix that I have used when I don’t have time to troubleshoot if if a theme has been customized and can’t be updated. This plugin changes the basic wordpress editor and allows you to switch back and forth between visual and html. However it doesn’t fix the media issue. Plugin: Dean’s FCKEditor For WordPress

    Dani, thank you! I switched the theme to the default the WordPress Default v1.6, but it didn’t fix the issue. However, when I installed Dean’s FCKEditor, that fixed the issue.

    Seems like I’m good to go now, but is there anything else I should do or plan for? You said that this was a “temp fix” so I’m hoping I don’t run into problems again in the future.

    What is wordpress default? So you went to APPEARANCE then THEME and chose either 2010 or 2011? Those are usually the themes it comes with. Activate one of those and try.

    I suppose it doesn’t matter as long as the plugin works for you. But I personally get nervous it could cause more issues. If you never fix the problem and just find workarounds, and you every have a major problem, it will be harder to troubleshoot.

    I might have the answer but it requires somebody to test my theory, firstly we are all barking up the wrong tree – If it works for you then just thank me later [email redacted ]
    It’s nothing to do with WordPress or the plugins you might have installed but possibly the version of internet explorer we are using:
    Example 1: I’m in edit post and in the bottom right hand corner you will see “Set featured Image” right click for options and select to open in another window – you should be able to view “Add media files from your computer”.
    Some might consider this as a work around but it works for me – I’m a novice at WordPress but I am a support engineer at RS Components (Nuneaton).
