# WordPress Image Add Problem!

 * Hello,
 * When I click the button to add a picture, video, music, or other media, nothing
   happens. I have posts that already have pictures in them, but when I click the
   button to edit them (When I hover over the picture, there’s a delete button and
   an edit button), the screen darkens as usual but no dialog pops up. What’s wrong?
   This is a serious problem to me! Please help!

 * Thanks for the prompt reply – will try those. Never thought to update flash. 
   The weird thing is that I get the same results with Firefox, Internet Explorer,
   Opera, AND Chrome…?

 * No good. Just updated flash and it doesn’t do a thing – what next?

 * Dsiable Gears; and then check Settings > Miscellaneous to make sure “Store uploads
   in this folder” only has ‘wp-content/uploads’, with no other slashes/path.
 * And read the sticky: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999?replies=1)

 * Just to make things clear: I can upload to wordpress just fine via the “Add Media”
   section on the sidebar: it’s just when I click on any of the four buttons to 
   add media on the “New post” or “New page”, nothing happens at all.

 * Just upgraded it even though it said I had 2.8.4. No difference, the problems
   still there. Thanks so much for helping me, BTW!

 * Just checked to see if the problem reoccurs on other computers: it does. That
   means it isn’t something wrong with just my computer…not good.
