 * Updating to the most recent version (released today) breaks the media library
   with only gray placeholder boxes populating the media library in the WordPress
   dashboard.
 * Also, the option to enable cache-busting will only set to ‘enable’. Setting it
   to ‘disable’ and saving doesn’t work, it just resets to ‘enable.’ Please fix 
   this, I can’t use the latest version on any of my sites.

 * Hi [@jaredtwilcox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaredtwilcox/)
    Can you
   make sure you are not using **Stateless** mode. In stateless mode we are forcing
   the Cache-Busting to enabled.
 * Can you please explain your first question? Screenshot would be great.

 * I am using the Stateless mode. Prior to this update, that was not an issue. I
   am renaming all of my images on import with unique names so caching is not an
   issue. The whole reason I am using WP Stateless is to use the stateless mode 
   and save space on my server.
 * Why would you force cache-busting?

 * Also, this was not enabled prior to this update. Again, why would you change 
   the plugin to force something that wasn’t prior to this update and change the
   way people have been using it?

 * Cache-Busting is crucial in stateless mode because there is no local file is 
   left wp can’t generate unique file name for attachment. So there are a chance
   that another of your attachment may be replaced.
 * You can disable it by setting constant [WP_STATELESS_MEDIA_CACHE_BUSTING](https://github.com/wpCloud/wp-stateless/wiki/Constants#wp_stateless_media_cache_busting)
   to false.

 * You are right, but we just wanted to be sure that user don’t accidentally replace
   older attachment.
    Maybe we should only warn user about it then. What do you 
   think?

 * I’ve added this to my functions.php file:
 *     ```
       define('WP_STATELESS_MEDIA_CACHE_BUSTING', FALSE);
       ```
   
 * It doesn’t fix the problem. I also tried ‘TRUE’.

 * I would guess that I am not the only person that will have an issue with this.
 * You can see screenshots of the media library issue at the link above. FYI, the
   website with the screenshots is not currently using WP Stateless.

 * I am not sure how it could break the media library!
    I don’t see any screenshot.

 * Adding the constant definition to wp-config.php works, but isn’t exactly an ideal
   solution. I would prefer to not have to do that to every install that I install
   WP Stateless on.

    You can attach screenshot

   on our end.
