 * More info would be useful.
 * What’s your site URL? Is it your Media Library files that aren’t loading, or 
   all media in general (e.g. theme images)?

 * Oh – that is such a bad idea!? Were you aware that your site is now running a
   very real risk of being hacked? You need to ensure that you are running the latest
   version of WordPress. Once you site is secure again, we can always try and help
   you with any issues that you have but clearing up after a hack is a nasty, time-
   consuming, business.

 * After 4 years of no problems uploading media or using saved media from Media 
   files, I can’t get anything to attach to my current post. “Insert Post” is useless.
   I have the current uploads. What am I doing wrong?

    I should share this with all fellow wordpress user. when we upgrade to 
   newer version-we get scared very easily if certain features does not work. I 
   am advertising my website on facebook/google now, so for me getting my site back
   is very important. So i downgraded and uploaded my customized css and php files.
   Once i did, i found that media files are not working again. Then I checked the
   php files I changed recently and voila! by removing that link it worked again.
   I upgraded again back to newest version. I really learnt a lot today.
