 * This appears to be a common problem with a lot of solutions. I Googled it and
   found many people have the issue and there are a variety of solutions, all of
   which require changes to WP code. No idea how to access that code and change 
   it, save it. Can someone tell this non-programmer how to fix this issue with 
   a step x step instruction? I made no changes to my wordpress account but the 
   error just showed up when I tried to download media. Happens with any media and
   any browser. Thanks for help. This is important.
