 * Hi.
 * I’ve got a problem with inserting post manually via wp_insert_post function.
 * Problem description: <img src=”…url…”/> tags were converted to <img> (with no
   attributes).
 * How to fix:
    The closing slash ‘/’ breaks WP. The bug is in kses.php:wp_kses_split2
   function. Change (note ‘?)/?’ at the end of regexp) this line if (!preg_match(‘%
   ^<\s*(/\s*)?([a-zA-Z0-9]+)([^>]*)>?$%’, $string, $matches)) to if (!preg_match(‘%
   ^<\s*(/\s*)?([a-zA-Z0-9]+)([^>]*?)/?>?$%’, $string, $matches)).
 * Hope that helps.
