 * When I try to edit a gallery created before upgrading to 3.9.1, I get the result
   shown here:
    [http://helpcollin.com/Capture.PNG](http://helpcollin.com/Capture.PNG)
 * I have tried enabling 3rd party cookies, deleting cache, temporarily disabling
   all plugins, etc.
 * There are no javascript errors on the page.
 * I am using Chrome 35, but it doesn’t work in Firefox either.
 * What else can I try? The only way to edit the gallery is via entering the image
   number at this point in the text tab.

 * Have you tried switching to one of the WordPress default themes like Twenty Thirteen
   to see if it’s a theme issue?

 * No, but I don’t know why that would do anything since the problem is in the editor,
   not the actual site… and I don’t want to mess up the site.

 * Some plugins and themes can be the problem.
    It makes sense to make the development
   copy and test all possible reasons.

 * Themes dictate what UI elements and CSS are used on the admin side too, including
   the editor, sometimes. If your theme is causing a problem, it would explain why
   you were okay until you updated WP. Just something additional to rule out before
   you start pulling your hair out.

 * Thanks for the info. I created a quickie test site and added my old theme files
   to it and that indeed was the issue. Thanks much!
