WordPress issue "Add Media button not working" - Fix it Now ?
This article covers how to Fix WordPress Add Media Button Not Working.
The main reason behind this error is usually custom scripts not working correctly, plugins, or themes.
You can pinpoint the cause of your woes using your browser's Inspect -> Console.

To fix this WordPress error:
1. That aside, start by deactivating all of your plugins.
2. Then check if the Add Media button is working.

4. Next, reactivate the plugins one by one, and check the Add Media button after each activation.
5. When you find the responsible plugin, contact the developer for help or find a replacement.
6. If the problem persists after deactivating all plugins, you need to ensure you've cleared your caches first and then test if your theme is the cause of the WordPress Add Media button not working.
7. Just activate a default WordPress theme such as Twenty Seventeen and then check if the problem is gone.
If the button works, the issue here is your theme.
Undefined index notice in Joomla - Fix it now ?
This article covers how to resolve Undefined index notice in Joomla. A notice, in PHP terms (PHP is the scripting language that powers Joomla), is more or less a complaint. For example, if you're using a deprecated function such as ereg_replace (by the way, we have had quite a few sites with the ereg_replace() is deprecated notice that we needed to fix) then PHP will complain with a notice.
A notice may also be displayed if you're trying to use questionable casting that PHP thinks will not return the result that you want (for example, if you try to forcefully cast an array into a string).
To fix this Joomla warning:
Change PHP's error reporting in the .htaccess file to hide all errors.
You can do that by adding the following code to your .htaccess file:
php_flag display_startup_errors on
php_flag display_errors on
php_flag html_errors on
The above code will ensure that no error whatsoever will be displayed on your website.
Note that if you have an Error Reporting setting in your configuration settings other than "Default", then this setting will override the error reporting defined in your .htaccess.
For example, if your Error Reporting is set to "Maximum", then the above code in your .htaccess file has no effect.
