The media library modal accessed from the post editor does not have a list view option. To find an existing image among many, you need to determine ahead of time either a month/year to filter by, and/or a useful search term.
If the grid view of the media list table (Media > Library) is not functioning properly, your theme or a plugin has likely tried to modify its functionality and caused an error to occur. When grid view fails to appear, check your browser’s console for any errors. They’ll need to be resolved before grid view can work.
If no errors are logged, switch to a default Twenty* theme and deactivate all plugins. Grid view should now work. Isolate the problem module by restoring them one at a time until the problem returns. Then take up the issue through that module’s dedicated support channel.
@bcworkz I’m sorry, but I have to ask – Did you read my post ?
I did mention that I’m using 2023 theme, with all plugins turned off.
But good point on checking console for errors! Thank you
And here what I got when opening Media->Library
This page is in Quirks Mode. Page layout may be impacted. For Standards Mode use “<!DOCTYPE html>”.
upload.php
This page uses the non standard property “zoom”. Consider using calc() in the relevant property values, or using “transform” along with “transform-origin: 0 0”. upload.php
JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 3.4.0
Nothing else, no obvious errors
I admit I didn’t read completely and thus missed some crucial information. Apologies.
Something is queer though. Quirks mode with 2023 theme? My test site uses 2023 and there’s no quirks mode, <!DOCTYPE html> is the tag used. No warning about “zoom” neither. In theory we should have the exact same sites code-wise. The only difference is I use PHP 8.2 and self-host, neither of which should matter for this. I cannot replicate the issues you describe.
Modern jQuery is not compatible with Quirks mode and could explain why grid display does not work.
