Cannnot add pictures – strange code

  • Hi everyone, We were creating a new post on our site when we realized that we could not add a picture to it – the picture would upload (we could see it our media files) but it would just not appear in the post.

    When I looked in the HTML version of the post, I could see the first line had this strange piece of code in it:

    <!–?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ standalone=”no”?–>

    Once I removed this piece of code the picture could be added again.

    This is the first time this has happened to us (we create new posts 4-5 times per day) – would you know why this bit of code suddenly appeared in the post and why does it prevent us from adding pictures?

    Thanks,

    Peter

  • Can you replicate the problem using the default Twenty Thirteen theme with all plugins deactivated?

    We use the Arras theme and have just three active plugins – Smart Ads, Social Media Widget, WordPress SEO – I created a new post with those three turned on and turned off and had not problems.

    This problem may have actually happened once before, about 3 weeks ago, to another person who posts on our site. They also couldnt add a picture, but they just deleted the draft and started again and had no problems afterwards.

    Perhaps it’s a temporary server problem?

    I don’t think so – I was able to log in, find the post and spot the weird piece of code right away and as soon as I removed it the picture could be added no problem.

    Unless you can confirm the issue one way or another, there is not a lot we can do to help.
