• When I go to add a media file to a page, it opens a popup with 2 tabs. The default tab is to choose an image among the ones we already have in the gallery. I want to add an image that I uploaded a long time ago, but I have lots of images, so to find the one I want I have to look for it by using the search box. The problem is the search box is not working. Whatever I write there, it will not go look for the file name or title, as I think it was supposed to. I’m not sure when this started to happen.

  • Are you certain you’re using the correct name when searching? Try selecting a more recent image in the Media Libary, making note of its title, then performing a search for that image. If it appears then it means search is working.

    I tried it with many names, but it doesn’t matter what I write in the search box because it shows me every single image I have in the gallery. It doesn’t make any selection of images with the same specific name, it doesn’t show me any wrong images, it simple shows me all the images I have in the gallery, ordered by upload date.

    The link above will show the problem.

    I wrote a name to look for, in this case is “plus” and then I selected one image to see its name. As you can see, the image shown doesn’t have “plus” in any of the fields and the gallery remains the same, showing me images that doesn’t even have that name or title. But I can say that 2 lines above the image selected (the image with the red stripes, for instance), there are in fact a few images with that word. But the search box doesn’t make any distinction. It shows all the images that exist in the gallery.

    Sorry. I meant below, not above.

    I believe I found what was wrong.
    At first I thought this was not a plugin problem because I didn’t remember to have installed any new plugin lately, but then I went to check them just to be sure. Facebook Pixel was the last plugin I installed and when I deactivated it, the gallery search box worked perfectly.

    Where is the right place to report this bug?
