Problem with adding images/files/links

    Still loving the plugin!

    I have users beta testing my site right now and we’ve discovered a few issues.

    1) A user mentioned that they were not able to copy and paste a url into the form while using Opera browser – got an error saying browser not supported for that action (can’t quote the exact error message – still waiting to hear back from user for more specific details)

    2) Users are able to select non-image files, even mp3s to add to the form. If a user adds a non-image file then the form gives no errors, it just proceeds to the redirected page after submittal. The post/file does not get stored in the database though. They should not be able to select any files that are not images to upload, or there should be an error if they try to upload non-image files to avoid having issues, such as losing the post content they just wrote and wasting time having to redo everything, possibly not even realizing why if they aren’t tech savvy.

    3) The way images are displayed on single post pages. If a user uploads an image, it will display the image on the page as it should. Problem is that the same image is duplicated directly next to it (so it shows twice). If I try to do any kind of figure { display:none; }, it will fix the issue but then it also removes the thumbnail from posts with no user-submitted images (my default thumbnail for posts).

    Temporarily working around issue #3 by setting the duplicate image (and subsequently all other user submitted images) to a tiny thumbnail so to the user it appears normal even though it’s a duplicate (it’s so small that they can infer it should be clicked on to expand) would prefer that the first user-submitted image does not duplicate next to the post’s thumbnail. For anyone in the future needing to do something like this, you can target the usp image with something like

    .single .entry-content p img {
     width: 45px;
    height: auto;
}

    Just mentioning that since it took me a bit of time to figure out I had to target p to modify the style.

    Glad to help:

    1) Not sure about any issue with Opera, not able to replicate as described.

    2) This sounds like a bug, will investigate and get it fixed up in the next version.

    3) For the images, it may help to understand the various ways that post images can be displayed:

    – USP settings: Featured Image
    – USP settings: Images Auto-Display
    – also via other plugins
    – also via your theme

    Most likely if you are seeing multiple versions of the same image, it’s because more than one of those options is enabled. I would go thru each one and disable whichever image-display method is not required. Should be no need to hide anything with CSS or whatever, just disable any duplicate images at the source.
