"More" tag and images not displaying

  • Running 3.0.1 Using Magazine Basic theme. Here is the problem. Images are being stripped out of the full posting. In a posting with more than one image, many of the images are not being displayed. A blank box with the image title appears where the image would reside in the flow of the text. If you click on the blank box, the image is displayed in another window. I have tried the “more” tag with other magazine style themes that display excerpts on the front page. The same image problem occurs. So this appears to be a problem with the tag and not the theme.

  • It’s either a theme issue or an image upload/insert issue. The images in your single posts are zero pixels wide by zero pixels high.

    Thanks for your reply. I am not sure what you mean by “The images in your single posts are zero pixels wide by zero pixels high”.

    When I click on a “read more” link from the excerpt on the front page, the images do not display in the full posting display. I checked the source code in the browser and here is an example for one of the images:

    “<img class=”alignleft size-full wp-image-2170″ style=”float: right; margin: 10px; border: 1px solid black;” title=”real US GDP-1973-2009″ src=”../wp-content/uploads/2010/10/realGDP-1973-2009.gif” alt=”real US GDP-1973-2009″ width=”275″ height=”212″ />”

    It seems strange that the html code appears correct and yet the browser is not displaying the image. Baffled here. Can you clarify?

    Investigating further, this looks like an image insertion issue. How are you adding these images.? Currently, the missing images have relative (instead of full, absolute, urls) – hence WP cannot output the correct image src.

    I am using the regular WP “Add an Image” feature on the Upload/Insert line of the editor. I do have TinyMCE Advanced installed. When I look at the links in the image editor(both built-n and TinyMCE Advanced) in WP the relative URL is displayed. I do see that the HTML in the source from the browser shows the relative links.

    This may be muddying the waters…. I just provided a full URL for downloads in the Settings:Media panel of WP. I have now inserted a number of images and do not see this relative URL problem recurring. Again, as a non-expert WPer I am not sure exactly where some of this settings come into play. Does this change make any sense as a fix to this problem?

    Sort of but you might want to try just using wp-content/uploads as your uploads path and see if that works.
