 * Is this a utilization mistake or is something not working?
 * I’m trying to create an editable image on a custom post type. The image is on
   a different server, the ID comes from the WP database. This is the code I’m using
 * `editable_image('$image_id', 'http://not_WP_server.tld/userimages/'.$image_id.'.
   jpg');`
 * Using this code, the image gets output ok, but clicking on it will not call the
   upload box.
 * Am I doing something wrong?
 * Thanks!

 * Try the [development version](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/front-end-editor.zip).
   If it still doesn’t work, read the FAQ.

 * Tried the development version, read the FAQ (well, I had before, that is where
   I got the code that I’m using), but this issue persists. I wonder if it could
   be a JS error, since clicking on the element doesn’t cause any reaction in firebug,
   so I didn’t really know where to start looking for possible problems that may
   cause this.
 * This is the code that is output by the editable_image function and the code above–
 * `<img id='1180194155' src='http://not_WP_server.tld/userimages/1180194155.jpg'/
   >`
 * Maybe you’ll have another idea…
 * thanks!

 * Ah, then it’s a permission problem. You have to have the ‘edit_themes’ capability.

 * In WP Admin -> Settings -> Front-end Editor, do you have “Theme images” checked?

 * Scribu,
 * oooooops. facepalm. Sorry. Yeah. Thought I had activated all the fields, but 
   apparently the right column of checkboxes wasn’t actually activated. Since I 
   thought I did that, I didn’t even think of the most obvious thing to check. Works
   now. Perfect!!! Thanks man!

 * Running multisite 3.0:
 * editable_images() works when I’m logged into site as admin, but not as siteowner.
   Have theme images checked – Any pointers appreciated.
 * Thanks.
