Why won't my images upload to my post?
-
I can get my images to upload to the media library, but nothing happens when I hit ‘insert into post’. I tried looking at other support threads for users with this problem but I don’t know much about html so I haven’t been able to figure out how to fix it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Can you let me know the name of the post you’re having trouble with?
Also, could you let me know if you’re using the WordPress.com editor or your blog dashboard? The URL in the address bar when you’re editing a post should help us to tell the difference. For example, the dashboard would read like this:
http://jeremeyduvall.com/wp-admin/….
The WordPress.com editor, which would look like this?
Lastly, can you make sure you’re in the Visual Editor when you’re editing your posts? The Visual Editor is described here:
-
It’s one I haven’t published yet because the images won’t load. Do you want me to publish just the words so you can see it?
It looks like I’m using my blog dashboard, and I am in the visual editor. Should I use the WordPress editor?
Thanks

Hi there,
No need to publish it until we have it looking how you want it to! I can check out the draft from your Dashboard. So, it looks like there aren’t any images in the post so far. When I click “Add Media” from the Edit Post page below, the media library pops up:
https://vergeoflove.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=561&action=edit
I was able to successfully add an image to your post using this method (since deleted). When you try to add an image, can you explain what happens? Does the page freeze or act like it’s added the image but it hasn’t?
I noticed a lot of your pics are of tweets. I just wanted to point out that you can embed the tweets directly into your post as described here:
-
So I hit “add media”, click on the image I want to add, hit “insert into post” and it goes back to the visual editor page, without an image having been added. It doesn’t look like it freezes, but it doesn’t look like it attempts to upload anything either.
Yeah I hadn’t used that feature before and forgot it was there.
Thanks

Hi!
That’s very strange. Can you let me know what version of Chrome you’re using? You can find out by navigating to Chrome -> About Google Chrome in the top menu. Also, do you experience the same thing when you try other browsers?
-
I have version 36.0.1985.143 of Chrome. My computer is a Chromebook so I don’t have other browsers available.

Hi!
Thanks for the additional details. Could you perhaps take a screencast of this behavior? I found an app on Chromebook that should allow you to do this:
I just would need a screencast of you trying to upload and image and add it to your post.
I went ahead and added a free trial of VideoPress to your account so you can upload the video to your Media Library when you’re done. That way, I can take a look. You will not be charged for the VideoPress upgrade.

I downloaded the Screencast app but I can’t use it because it keeps crashing. On the plus side, I went back and tried to add images again (without screencasting it) and it worked. I’m not exactly sure what happened but hopefully my problem is fixed.
