 * Hi, the Replace Media button here – [https://i.imgur.com/1R6LiHu.png](https://i.imgur.com/1R6LiHu.png)–
   is not working for me. Clicking the button does nothing. I can’t see any errors
   in Dev Tools. I’m using Chrome on a Mac and WP 6.1.1

 * [@bulldogdigital](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bulldogdigital/) it looks
   like you have some sort of JS error there. The Replace Media section should look
   like a meta box on it’s own on the right hand side of the page as shown at [https://pasteboard.co/yP1L4o78Wf78.png](https://pasteboard.co/yP1L4o78Wf78.png).
   Try looking at Chrome’s console log to see if there’s any error there.

 * Ahhh ok, I can see it is working for me in one area but not another.
 * If I click on a media file in here – [https://i.imgur.com/HQXO2Yz.png](https://i.imgur.com/HQXO2Yz.png)–
   then it is broken – [https://i.imgur.com/fvMsyLV.png](https://i.imgur.com/fvMsyLV.png)
 * But from here it works fine – [https://i.imgur.com/wBXKaff.png](https://i.imgur.com/wBXKaff.png)

 * [@bulldogdigital](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bulldogdigital/) ah, I 
   see… I rarely use the grid view on the Media library. Good to know the bug occurs
   there. Thanks for identifying and reporting it. I’ll see what I can do to fix.

 * [@bulldogdigital](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bulldogdigital/) For simplicity,
   I’ve decided to remove the option to replace media from the grid view of the 
   media library. Please use the list view going forward. This change will go live
   in the next release, v4.3.1. Thanks again for discovering and reporting the issue!
   You’ve helped make the plugin better for everyone who uses it!
