Images In Posts

  • Hi all!

    I’ve been trying to insert images (jpegs) into posts and the image won’t show. I use Vista/IE7 on my laptop, and Linux is my OS for my site itself.

    I saw noted on EG site that there are known issues with images showing with IE7– how can this be resolved?

    What am I doing wrong? I also do not understand where it asks me for url link for the image…I’ve tried each combination and still no go. Nothing seems to allow the image to show.

    This really has been a problem for me and need resolution.

    Thanks for any help!

  • I’m not trying to be facetious, but have you tried a different browser to make sure it *is* a browser specific problem?

    Also, I’m not entirely clear what your problem is. Are you having problems *uploading* images using WordPress, viewing the images directly, or the images simply aren’t showing when you visit the post itself?

    Finally, when you load the image’s direct URL (i.e. site.com/images/pic.jpg), does the picture show up? If it does, then the link is likely wrong within the blog entry. If not, then the picture is not uploaded and therefore doesn’t exist.

    Now, as for what you should write for your URL link (I assume under your ‘Settings’), you can go ahead and leave that blank. When you upload with WP, it will automatically add the link into your blog entry based on where the file was uploaded.

    sweetdeal,

    I thought about it being a browser issue– especially because there is a note on EG’s site about known issues with IE7– If so, should I upgrade to IE8– will that resolve the issue?

    I can upload the image into my WP library no problem. I have jpegs and I’m uploading from my computer– didn’t think I had to include the url if I’m uploading directly from my computer. Is this where I’m going wrong? I must include a url regardless?

    The problem occurs once I insert the image into the post– you can see the ‘image pane’ and only a little X, not the image itself. It doesn’t show up from the onset.

    I could really use a solution– it’s probably very apparent, but I’m really a theme idiot just trying to blog ??

    I appreciate any help!

    Hi Susan,
    Sorry a reply has taken so long. *sigh*

    It seems as though the URL to the image is simply not being inserted into the post properly.

    I’d recommend checking your upload settings, and if necessary, manually specify the URL to your upload folder (making sure it’s free of any errors) and seeing if that fixes the problem.

    As for trying another browser, I actually meant a browser other than IE such as Mozilla Firefox or Opera. If the image works in either of those browsers, then you can probably bet it’s an IE issue and work from there.
