Title: Cannot add background image Last modified: November 20, 2019 --- # Cannot add background image * Resolved [rsconsult](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rsconsult/) * (@rsconsult) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-add-background-image/) * I’ve been using the slider for a while and I am trying to add a few slides. When I try to add media or to choose set image, nothing happens. I’ve tried using a duplicate slide as well as a new slide. I also tried creating an entirely new slider. Nowhere am I able to click on Add Media or Set Image and have anything pop up to choose the image. Any help is appreciated! - This topic was modified 6 years, 4 months ago by [rsconsult](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rsconsult/). - This topic was modified 6 years, 4 months ago by [rsconsult](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rsconsult/).

Press CTRL + SHIFT + J keys together to open up the JavaScript console (on Chrome and FireFox browsers) and see if you are getting any JavaScript errors. * Thread Starter [rsconsult](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rsconsult/) * (@rsconsult) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-add-background-image/#post-12178937) * My apologies on the delay in response. It does look like there are errors. I am not very familiar with JavaScript so I’m not sure where to go from here. Below is what shows up when I click on the Set Image button on any of the slides – existing ones or a new one. * `media-views.min.js?ver=5.3:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘limitExceeded’ of undefined at initialize (media-views.min.js?ver=5.3:1) at initialize (media- views.min.js?ver=5.3:1) at i.h.View (backbone.min.js?ver=1.4.0:1) at i.constructor( wp-backbone.min.js?ver=5.3:1) at i.constructor (media-views.min.js?ver=5.3:1) at i [as constructor] (backbone.min.js?ver=1.4.0:1) at i [as constructor] (backbone. min.js?ver=1.4.0:1) at new i (backbone.min.js?ver=1.4.0:1) at Object.wp.media( media-models.min.js?ver=5.3:1) at HTMLAnchorElement.

So if tip 1 above does not work, then see if you have another plugin (Guttenberg addon) that could be clashing with Slide Anything (try disabling these other plugins and test to see if the JavaScript goes away). * Thread Starter [rsconsult](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rsconsult/) * (@rsconsult) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-add-background-image/#post-12186461) * I didn’t have any plugins related to Guttenberg installed. I tried the checkbox under “Other Settings” and it did not seem to make a difference. I deactivated all plugins except for the slider and it worked. Added them back one by one and it continued to work. Not sure what it had an issue with but it seems to be resolved and I was able to add the slides I needed to.
