Using 5.7.12 of the free plugin, my client is finding the Add Media and Add Gallery buttons above the Classic Editor interface are no longer working. Looks like an ACF issue because it’s the only plugin throwing errors in the console:

These are the errors copied from the console:
TypeError: t is null[Learn More] acf-input.min.js:3:8499

Thanks for any suggestions. I’ve tried using define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false ); but that didn’t do anything.

Bump – still going on. If I deactivate ACF I can use the Add Media button again.

There isn’t any issue that I can find in ACF, my sites are all functioning correctly. Things that can cause this are

– a javascript conflict with another plugin, try deactivating other plugins

– a corrupt javascript file, this can happen. A quick test is to turn on SCRIPT_DEBUG https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/#script_debug
