 Hi,

 the media manager still seems to have a bug, weeks after the release of
 4.0 and several users reporting it. The solutions offered (switching off
 plugins and so on) don't work.

 Anyway -- here's what happens: with a clean, no plugins added, install on
 a server with 8GB Ram, CloudLinux, Apache 2.x, up to date MySQL when you
 click on the media-manager it starts loading (rotating icon). And it keeps
 doing that. No images shown, uploading of images doesn't work (no error
 message) but in the mean time, the server runs wild. The proces runs
 something with 'ajax' and makes the server bog down (load up to 20.0,
 stopped it by restarting apache).

 This simply doesn't happen with the 3.x branch so it is Wordpress code
 causing it. The apache error log doesn't show any errors, the process
 simple runs wild or loops.

 I've reported this before on the forums (as well as other users) but the
 moderators are very reluctant to addmit anything is wrong and blaim the
 'faulty plugins'. As I've said, no plugins are active. On another site
 where there were plugins active, I've switched them all off and no change
 in the situation.

 I manage dozens of Wordpress sites for clients and have a lot of
 experience in using Wordpress.. this is clearly an issue in the wordpress
 code.

 Uploading new images of files doesn't work either. It shows broken images
 or a blue 'image' that can't be inserted in the posts or pages (button not
 enabled).
