Photo changes
-
This is rather annoying… I guess the HTML editing will do the trick, but I use that function in every single entry. I’d rather have it back the way it was before.
-
It’s going to be pretty impossible for people who host images at Flickr or something, I’m thinking.

I feel I’m a reasonable person. I’m generally calm, know that they are working to improve the service, take most technical issues with a shrug and wait patiently, but the only thing that has made me resort to screaming and CAPITALS, is the totally disfunctional image uploading since the last upgrade. I (and hundreds of others) have been having constant problems for months. The only way I could get a picture to upload was a clunky workaround with the tree/image button. Now they have taken that away from me too. What is wrong with you wordpress. are you trying to drive me away?

Okay, this morning I have tried re-inserting the photos and the html. The html makes the photo disappear. Not working for me!
-
I can’t see any of the pictures I’ve uploaded at all. The problem started around the same time that this thread started last night. I just assumed that wordpress must be working on the issue. Even my custom header picture and my widgets are invisible. Is it just me? Can you see them?

Cinda, I uploaded image to library, copied the URL, went to an old draft post, replaced the image url in the old draft with the url of the new picture and it seems to be working.
This is just stupid. -
I wasn’t able to get an image to word wrap this morning, despite the advanced tab in the image management thingee showing that it was. I finally clicked on the paragraph alignment thing and got it to work.
Change for the sake of change just doesn’t cut it for me.

Wahhhhhh – the tree has been stolen – I blame the Canadian Lumberjacks! Ok, I’m savvy enough to do html workarounds but it sucks when there was a really simple timesaver available and it has been taken away.
Now I will throw myself onto the floor and kick and scream until it is given back to me – if that doesn’t work, I’ll hold my breath and go blue in the face!
Please wonderful wordpress crew, please may we have our tree back?

I have been in touch with the support people via e-mail this morning, but they are just telling me to do the things I have already done. I think they were unaware that the icon that now appears on the photos in the edit page view are not working. Ever since I pointed out to them that I was, in fact, doing exactly as they said, I haven’t heard back. Hopefully, they are now working on it.

Sorry … I thought that my name would link to the blog, but apparently not. Here’s my web address. http://citystreams.wordpress.com

Don’t you want pictures on our blogs anymore? The last two “improvements” to WordPress have been a great pain in the neck – it’s impossible to upload pictures anymore. What’s the big idea?
-
If you want to give staff your feedback or share your feelings with them, do it via your dashboard; they don’t read the forums much. Basically we’re all just volunteers here. Give them as much technical detail about your problems as you possibly can when you contact them.
-
@ citystreams: I see all your images but the one captioned “My Daddy’s hand next to my baby’s hand”. Did you put that in differently from the others?
To get your name to link to the blog, go into your Profile and put the blog URL under Website, starting with http.

raincoaster: Sending messages to support seems to have no effect. Over the last couple of years I have sent four messages and I have yet to get a response. Meantime, why don’t the volunteers pay any attention to the forums? That is where the most information on problems appears. Even an occasional scan of the forums would have shown the very high level of frustration, even rage, about using the “improved” image posting which now requires using abstruse workarounds to have any chance of working at all. Not everyone wants to, or can, use html coding just to insert an image especially when it used to be such a simple process. Over the years I have served as a volunteer on a variety of local projects and being a volunteer is not an excuse for ignoring project needs and problems.

No, it isn’t. If there is anything you can do about them.
I have provided, and continue to provide technical fixes, information, and workarounds. I cannot change the programming of WordPress software, nor do I take responsibility for it, as I have no influence on it whatsoever. I cannot provide emotional support either.
If you want to vent your frustrations, it’s better to do so to the people who created the problem rather than the people who are trying to find workarounds.

I used the basic HTMl workaround. I upload the image with the uploader, go to the Manage and then Media Library area and copy and past the image url into the HTML edit option of the post. Until things are fixed I’ll just do images I can simply center to not worry about text wrapping.
For newbies that are not familiar with HTML :
<img src=”[image here]” >
Hopefully the image issue will be fixed soon… just give us the Tree icon option back. That was working fine for me.
-
And to just add, I sent a message via dashboard support and I received a quick reply from Anthony about this issue wanting me to clarify the issue as far as what I am seeing on my end with the uploader window. So at least we know they do read the support emails.

I see now if you click on the Mountain icon you can set the size as a percentage: down to 60. Looks like it also goes up to 130%, but I can’t get my image to embiggen, probably because I just inserted the small size to play with.
Here is align left and align right code:
<img class="alignleft" src="URL" />
<img class="alignright" src="URL" />And to add some horizontal space of, say, 10 pixels, you put it in like this:
<img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" src="URL" /> -
So just copy and paste those codes and put your own image URL in where it says URL. Hopefully you won’t need to do this for more than a few hours.
