# Add Featured Image problem

 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to add a Featured image to a post, which isn’t working. When I click
   on ‘Set Featured Image,’ instead of opening an iFrame, on top of the current 
   window. It redirects to it, so when I upload the image, etc. And then press ‘
   Set’ it shows a load icon for 1-2 seconds and then nothing happens.
 * I’ve tried using different browsers, but no difference. Does anyone know how 
   to fix it?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Have you tried:
    – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem?
   If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic
   plugin(s). – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?–
   re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download of
   WordPress?

 * Hey thanks for you reply. Unfortunately, nothing worked. I even tried adding 
   a new WordPress site, with no plugin, themes, posts, etc. Nothing worked.
 * Could there be another reason for this?

 * No. I never got fix this. I tried everything I could. After hours of trying, 
   I gave up.
 * I’m sorry to tell you this. But, I never got to get this working.

 * I was actually able to track my issue down to the WPIDS security plugin. Once
   I disabled that my dialogs worked without the redirection.
