WordPress and images in post



We all know what WordPress is, but if you don’t  – is a very well put together blogging system.
Very easy to install and you can get up and running in minutes. The latest version seems very stable, but while it is good there seem to be an issue when you insert an image into the post.
Ajax based system, works very well and after inserting the image, all looks grand and perfect, but if you try to edit it (lets say you want to add some text to the alt tag as you forgot), after “Update” it actually duplicates the previous image, so now you have two instead of one.

Today I tried to add a new image to a post, so I scroll down to the bottom of the page, browse the computer, choose the image and uploaded to the server, then clicked on “insert into post” and voila the image is added to the  text, but hang-on a second, instead of an image I get “404 page not found” message.

OK…, lets click on “Save and Continue Editing” button, just in case I lost the Internet connection, but nothing works, not even the top links.

To get the post back I just refreshed the page (F5) and everything is back to normal.

Is it just my browser that is showing this problems or any other WordPress users have the same issues?

Can’t say I’m having any trouble uploading content but I’m not running the latest version of WP.
Congrats on the blog Louie, it was long over due. BTW, the links for name, email and website aren’t visible within the comment form.

I know Cormac. I kept putting it to the bottom of the list, but then I got fed-up of having my own website looking like crap, so last weekend got my teeth into it.

Thanks for the heads-up on the text, I haven’t notice it as I was always loged in, but is done now.

I have never put an image in any of my posts. I tried it briefly a few weeks ago for the first time and I had similar problems. I have not looked at it since. I am going to try and resolve this over the weekend. Just in case you found the solution in advance of me I’d appreciate if you could let me know.
I’m fairly handy (for a wordpress amateur, having configured the blog and set up numerous plugins) with wordpress so I expected this to be very straight forward. Maybe it will prove to be yet.

Can’t remember of the top of my head, but there was some permission issues, thna I just upgraded to the latest version and all seems fine now.
If I still have problems, I usualy switch to FF
