Upload/Insert Not Opening in Modal Window – Cannot add any images

    I upgraded to 3.0.2 but also added the Akismet plug-in at the same time. Not sure which of those 2 caused my problem, but essentially, when I am editing a post, if I click any of the Upload/Insert buttons, the upload form opens in a regular browser window (not a modal popup as it did in the past). I can select files and upload them – that all works fine. But when I do an “Insert into Post” on an image, it simply goes from there to a blank page and does not add the image to the post. I suppose I can create the image reference in the HTML of the post, but that is very time consuming and I have a lot of images to show in each post since I am a photographer.

    I’ve already tried deactivating all of the plugins to no avail.

    I should also mention that from the Dashboard, if I click an upload/insert button in the Quick Post, it does open a modal popup there and everything works fine. Just not from the regular post form for new posts or existing posts.

    I am experiencing the same issue (although even the QuickPress on the dashboard is not working for me).

    I had a site with v2.9.2 and the modal window stopped working/opening. I’ve upgraded to 3.0.3 and the problem persists.

    Now, when I click on one of the upload/insert icons, the upload interface completely replaces the current page as if I’m navigating to a new page. I can upload files, but using the “Insert into Post” button results in a blank white screen and the media is not inserted into the post (if I navigate back to the post/page that I was editing).

    Anyone able to fix this?

    Actually… I found my problem.
    The functions.php file in my theme had some code intended to streamline the head content in my site; it was inadvertently causing an issue with Thickbox in my admin area.

    I discovered this issue by changing my theme from a custom theme to one of the WordPress default themes (either “default” or “TwentyTen” worked in demonstrating the issue that there was a problem with my custom theme).

    Hope this helps someone else!
