Wordpress 3.5.1 "Add Media" Fix

[JLogan]

I was having some issues updating to the latest version of wordpress (3.5.1). The issue I was having was that after I updated, I could no longer upload media through wordpress/the "Add Media" button. Well, I found a simple way to fix the issue if you've already upgraded.

How to Fix:
- Deactive All Plugins
- Activate the "Twenty Eleven" Theme
- Go to www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/update-core.php and click "Re-install Now"

After the re-install is finished, then everything/the "Add Media" button should go back to acting like it should. Just re-active your plugins and theme and you're good to go.

A lot of people are having problems with the latest version of WordPress, and I expect a update to be pushed out in a month or two.

Seems far away considering everyone are having the problems now. Not to mention the recent updates that where so close to eachother.

But what if some other plugins or the theme itself was causing it?
Especially when none of us noticed it?

Quite possible, but I highly doubt everyone who is having the problem is using the same theme ;P

It has to be related to some other stuff. Otherwise everyone will be experiencing this issue!
