Instead of the link tag, I want to add a div with a class. * Do you guys know if it is possible to modify something in the database to do what I need? * Thanks in advance!

Add this to your theme’s functions.php file. * ``` add_filter( 'image_send_to_editor', 'div_stuff', 10, 7); function div_stuff($html, $id, $alt, $title, $align, $url, $size ) { return "
$html

Looks like this: * ```
``` * I have two questions: How can I avoid having that div duplicated? * I don’t want an anchor tag inside the div, how can I prevent it from being inserted automatically? * Thanks in advance. * Thread Starter [wp-Guy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp-guy/) * (@wp-guy) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modify-code-for-inserted-images-possible/#post-785878) * Since the div “whatever” appears duplicated and I want to prevent the anchor tag from being inserted, I thought it would be good to try something else. * From the code Otto42 gave me, I modified it to be like this: * ``` add_filter( 'image_send_to_editor', 'div_stuff', 10, 7); function div_stuff($html, $id, $alt, $title, $align, $url, $size ){ return "
"; ``` * The problem with this code, is that the $url variable gives me the url for the large image, not for the medium sized image, which is the one I need. * Thanks in advance. * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modify-code-for-inserted-images-possible/#post-785879) * That should not happen, so I took a look, and there’s a bug in 2.5.1 that creates the multiple div problem you’re seeing. * Bug is documented here: [http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6806](http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6806) * It’s been fixed in the latest version of WordPress, and will be fixed in 2.6. * To fix it right now, replace your wp-includes/media.php with this one: [http://trac.wordpress.org/export/8188/branches/2.5/wp-includes/media.php](http://trac.wordpress.org/export/8188/branches/2.5/wp-includes/media.php) * Thread Starter [wp-Guy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp-guy/) * (@wp-guy) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modify-code-for-inserted-images-possible/#post-785880) * Thank you very much, Otto42. It fixed the duplicated div issue. Now the only problem I have, is that I cannot remove the anchor tag inside the div. I’m starting to think that’s not possible. * Thread Starter [wp-Guy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp-guy/) * (@wp-guy) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modify-code-for-inserted-images-possible/#post-785881) * I solved the last problem. I was entirely focused on the div issue that I forgot to play with the options. * Again Otto42, thank you very much for your help and for being so patient with a newbie like me.
