    That’s just how Tumblr displays images hosted on a server other than Tumblr’s own.

    That’s nice to know but unacceptable. What is the workaround.

    What is the workaround.

    Host all your images on Tumblr, or don’t use Tumblr. ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ

    So what is the point of this plug in again?

    I mean, most people have images in their WordPress posts.

    I thought this was suppose to cross-post, meaning with images.

    Or am I not understanding your snarky reply?

    I was gonna donate but, meh.

    Nevermind dont bother responding. Uninstalled and rated.

    It doesn’t sound like you understand how either Tumblr or websites in general deal with images. When you upload an image to your WordPress post, the image is hosted on your WordPress host, not Tumblr. It is then referenced by your post’s source HTML, not embedded in it. Tumblr chooses to display this as an “external image” and requires users to click on it to view it. That’s not broken, that’s just how Tumblr chose to design its interface. If you don’t like that, take it up with Tumblr.

    Or, you could host your images on Tumblr, and reference them yourself from your HTML post. Notice that this is the same answer as you got before.

    You can either ignore it again and get upset with me, or you can do something more productive with your time, but that’s up to you.

    I’ve left a response to your review offering folks a link back here so they can see our interaction for themselves. Thanks for providing a really great example for me to use in showcasing the utter uselessness of 1-star reviews. ??
