Image urls wont display in post!

  • I’m having a very frustrating time adding images to my posts. At the moment, I am only able to add images via the media gallery.

    However, I want the ability to add a different url to my image that directs the user to a website upon click instead of expanding the topic. I also cannot add an image using an img tag in the html editor, or using the image from url option. The image does displays in visual display, but when I click update/post I’m redirected to my posting list in the admin. Using wordpress’ default theme doesn’t solve this, and I have no plugins installed.

    I also have a lot of errors that display at the top of my admin page in the media section of the admin: Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/creation/public_html/wp-includes/query.php on line 2399 The image issue was the same when I initially installed wordpress with 3.1.1.

    After a lot of web research on my own I have determined that this is a hosting issue, in which the database isn’t allowing me certain write permissions. I am able to change the CHMOD permissions on the folder’s themselves, but the issue is with permissions on the server itself. I found this suggestion online that said to add this block to my .htaccess file:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files post.php>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

    The only change this made regarding adding an img tag or image url to my post was redirecting me to my post list in the admin. Before adding this change, the page would just go blank with an error on the top of my screen when I clicked save/update post.

    I am hosting with iNet-Solutions and when I contacted them regarding this issue, they responded by telling me that they will not allow changing the permissions on the server itself, but I can change the permissions with my individual database and suggested to override the permissions via a php.ini file, which I have no idea how to go about writing.

    There has gotta be a way I can get images in my posts either with an img tag in my html editor, or by adding an image url. I also would like the ability to add a secondary larger image to my expanded post(if this is possible) so I can avoid using popups for images showcasing new project designs. If anyone on this forum knows of a php.ini file that will override my permissions to allow images in my post that would be great!

  • Have you tried this, https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/hotfix/ to correct the problems in the editor?

    Thanks for the suggestion. However, when I inputted my url, it spit it back at me with a question mark at the end…

    Install hotfix on https://multimedia-creations.com/ ?

    The rest of the page is blank. Is it supposed to be?…

    Did you actually try installing the Hotfix plugin?

    I did, unless I’m doing it wrong. I went to the link kmessinger posted, put my wordpress url and that’s what I got:

    Install hotfix on https://multimedia-creations.com/ ?

    I tried installing it again from my admin. When activating I get this message:

    The plugin does not have a valid header.

    I am also unable to install any plugins. I have set the wp-content folder CHMOD to 777 with no avail.

    ~Shannon

    Try installing the plugin via FTP.

    I unzipped the hotfix plugin, uploaded in to my wp-content/plugins/ folder
    I uploaded the entire hotfix folder plugin to this location. I logged out of wordpress admin, logged back in. Plugin does not display in back end.

    Do I need to activate it manually?

    ~Shannon

    I just added it to one site this way. Go to dashboard, plugins, add new. In the search box put hot fix. It will bring up several but it should be the top one, version 5. Cross fingers. Click on install.

    I have already tried this, several times. The plugin installs, but fails to activate. It didn’t work… ??

    Have you tried deleting the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from the server, download a new copy of those folders and upload them to the server?

    (@swalker1974)

    Not yet. I’ll give that a shot tonight…

    I re-uploaded the wp-admin and wp-include folders from a fresh download and I am now able to add plugin’s in the admin. However, installing the Hotfix didn’t fix my problem. When adding an image though the html editor or the Upload/Insert image, the image displays in the visual editor, but when I click post, I’m re-directed to my post list in the admin and the new post is saved as a draft. When I click edit on the new post the image is gone.

    Any other suggestions to get the img tag or image from url working in my posts?…

    ~Shannon

    but when I click post

    Are you clicking “Publish”?

    Thread Starter swalker1974

    (@swalker1974)

    Yep. When I click publish, the screen now goes blank and I have an error that says:

    Not Acceptable

    An appropriate representation of the requested resource /wp-admin/post.php could not be found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    I’m so frustrated now! ??
