Checked the upload directory path and all is at wordpress default settings. Checked my host and all the pictures are there. And in the location where wordpress placed them. The problem is with the Image Widget and requiring a description then defaulting to the description instead of the chosen image.

I see others are having the same issue. But still no response from anyone with a solution. That just doesn’t seem right.

I am not sure it is a permissions issue. For the reason that I have went into the permissions on each batch of uploads and each picture and changed the permissions to allow Read/Write or 644 to test. It still defaulted back to the required description text that the Image Widget requires before you can insert. The problem is with the Image Widget and that It requires a discription tag instead of just using the photo or file name as the discription. Then instead of displaying the photo it defaults back to displaying the the discription. There was a plugin update yesturday that I had hoped would solve the problem. But the photo not displaying and the discription is still there. Hope someone can fix this soon.

At least I am not the only one with this issue. Hope some others join in soon on this problem. I do believe it has something to do with the Image Widget and version 2.9.1.

I wish I could answer the question on a released fix. Until then I keep try different things including the permissions on the folders where the photos are stored on my hosting server. I wish one of the Moderator’s could look into this issue. It is becomming a common one once I look around the WordPress forum.

Hello,

Same problem here. A little frustrated with 2.9.1 upgrade. I now am unable to insert images anywhere on my blog using the Image Widget plugin.I am able to insert static linked images from another websites. (https://newhottopics.com)I am able to see the images in the Media Library. I am able to upload images to the Media Library. I am able to select them to be shown. But when I click save it reverts back to the description text. I have checked to make sure the upload path is set to default in WordPress dashboard.

Any help would be great.

So nobody else is having this problem?
