Wordpress - Content Management

You wrote this code to open the media uploader but it does not open:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  const frame = wp.media({ title: 'Choose File' });
  frame.open();
});

What is the most likely reason?

AThe media uploader cannot be opened inside <code>document.ready</code>

BThe <code>frame.open()</code> method is incorrect

CYou forgot to call <code>wp_enqueue_media()</code> to load media scripts

DjQuery is not loaded on the page

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check media scripts loading
The media uploader requires wp_enqueue_media() to load scripts; without it, wp.media is undefined or non-functional.
Step 2: Evaluate other options
frame.open() is correct syntax. jQuery is likely loaded if using $ inside document.ready. The uploader can open inside document.ready.
Final Answer:
You forgot to call wp_enqueue_media() to load media scripts -> Option C
Quick Check:
Missing wp_enqueue_media() = no media popup [OK]

Quick Trick: Always enqueue media scripts before using wp.media() [OK]
