All pasted images appear at top of page

  • The last few days, my wordpress blog has been very buggy. My most immediate problem is that no matter where I try to insert an image, it appears at the top of the page.

    Any ideas on how to go about solving this problem would be appreciated.

    I’m not a programmer, but did most of the blog myself. I understand basic html, but not css or php, so be gentle on me ??

    Thanks in advance.

    Link please and how are you adding that image, is it via the visual editor?

    Hi Jan

    Same ways I’ve done hundreds of images before.

    In visual mode, I click add media, upload the relevant jpg or gif, select it to insert.

    Is there another method I should try?

    Thanks!

    Some extra information:

    When I pasted a picture into the middle of a post in visual mode, and then looked in text mode, I saw that it was inside of the <h1 style tag that belonged to my post heading. I was able to go into text mode, and then cut and paste it to the correct spot.

    I’ve also been having problems creating links. Sometimes I open the link dialog box and can’t type/paste the link URL. More often, I paste the URL, saved, and then… nada. No link appears. I noted that when this happened, my cursor ended up at the top of the page (though the text I tried to link was near the bottom of the page). I was able to link successfully by adding a <a href= code in text mode.

    Something makes me think these two problems are related since they both “send me” to the top of the page.

    I had someone work on my page, making edits to the style sheet and making something responsive, among other little things. I have a suspicion that something he did caused these problems.

    Does anyone have any thoughts what could be at the root of these issues?

    Thanks!

    can you post a direct link to a specific post with the problem?

    does that also happen if you activate the parent theme ‘responsive’?

    possibly post in the theme’s forum to get theme related suggestions https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/responsive/

    Hi Alchymyth,
    Thanks for replying.

    I can post a link, but there’s really nothing to see.

    In my latest blog post https://www.paleodietbasics.net/superfoods/
    I wanted the picture before all the text. But I tried to paste it in the middle just to see if I could and it skipped to the top.

    A link, when it doesn’t work is just text. Just now I tried to add a link to the word “Superfoods” in the second line of text in my post. Nothing appeared. I updated the file.

    I’m not sure what you mean about activating the parent theme responsive. I know about the existence of parent and child themes, but almost all the changed made to the theme were made by someone I hired. I have no idea what he did to parent or child.

    Thanks

    but almost all the changed made to the theme were made by someone I hired. I have no idea what he did to parent or child.

    changes should only have been made to the child theme;

    it might be the best if you contact the hired person again to troubleshoot the problem – this forum does not have free access to all your templates and files in the child theme, so any help will be tedious at least if not virtually impossible.

    there is a possibility that there is a filter function added for 'the_content' to work on the images;

    check functions.php of your child theme if you can find some code with

    add_filter('the_content', 'somefunctionnamehere' );

    You went a bit over my head. ??

    I went to the file manager, did a search for the word filter. Attaching the results.

    /public_html/wp-content/plugins/participants-database/js/list-filter.js

    /public_html/wp-includes/default-filters.php

    /public_html/wp-includes/ms-default-filters.php

    Does this mean anything to you?

    do not search within the file names

    – look into the content of functions.php of the child theme

    I accessed the files though the WordPress site.

    The parent has a functions.php (no filter there)

    The child doesn’t have a functions.php file.

    There is only 401 template, header, and style.css.

    there is possibly no other way than to get in contact with whoever made the changes;
    or consider to post a job at https://jobs.wordpress.net/ or equivalent sites.

    Since the guy that did the worked wasn’t so competent, I’d rather get someone better to go check the files. I’m afraid he might do even more damage.

    Thanks for taking the time to help. ??
