 * I can add media through the Media section on the left, but my Add Media button
   within a post has stopped functioning altogether.
 * I’ve tried different browsers and using a different theme, same issue.

 * Any direction would be appreciated 🙂
 * Thank you

 * 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.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from 
   a **fresh** download of your current version of WordPress.

 * BrendaSargeant,
 * I would start by deactivating your plugins and see if one of them is causing 
   this. Most of the time this is the case.
