### 󠀁[Plugin kills Media Library and Editing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-kills-media-library-and-editing/)󠁿

I upgraded to 4.5.1. I tried to upload images to the Media Library, but it was greyed-
out and did not show the assets. I could not add media in a post, nor could I edit
the URL or switch to “text” edit. I deactivated all my plugins and then turned them
on one-by-one and tested the Media Library. It all worked fine until I hit this 
one. I tried it off and on a few times just to be sure. I was sure. If you suddenly
experience problems with your Media Library or editing functions, this might be 
the answer. Several forum posts suggested deactivating plugins and several suggested
other things. This worked for me. Hope this helps some poor frustrated WordPress
user out there! Thank you.

### 󠀁[Outdated](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/outdated-10/)󠁿

 [BNightwolf](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bnightwolf/) September 3, 2016

Don’t waste time installing this plugin if you have up to date wordpress. This plugin
does not start backup and does not even have the move option it claim it should 
have.
