 * add an image into media library works fine but when i try to insert it to a post/
   page the lightbox is just blank. I’ve restarted my browser, restarted computer,
   cleared cache and cookies. How do I resolve this issue?

 * 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 Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * Okay It works now I will troubleshoot each plugin. One other thing! I now have
   this little white box that follows my scroll bar on the backend, it follows my
   scroll bar and covers over my content…? I just updated to the newest version…
   thank again

 * Those plugins may not be compatible with your version of WordPress.

 * I deactivated all of my plugins and I still can’t see the insert into post button
   unless I’m uploading an image into a post and not my portfolio. Can anyone help
   me. I’m about to just trash wordpress at this point. Not worth the headache
