# WP Setup problem: image path in posts is wrong.

 * I’ve got a v2.0.2 wordpress blog over at 5nz.com/blog and have all the backend
   stuff set up right, or so I thought.
 * I can upload images just fine using the write-post-interface but when I drag 
   them into the post body the path is given as
    [http://5nz.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/kidsforkids.thumbnail.jpg](http://5nz.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/kidsforkids.thumbnail.jpg)
   instead of
 * [http://5nz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/kidsforkids.thumbnail.jpg](http://5nz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/kidsforkids.thumbnail.jpg)
 * I can’t see where WP is getting the base domain from – certainly not from options.
   Surely it’s not doing a host name check?! And I’m not the first person to put
   a blog in a subfolder.
 * So, does anyone know where I’m going wrong?

 * Don’t drag. Despite what they say – it doesn’t work. Use the “Send to editor”
   menu.

 * Thank you moshu
 * That works and is much better with the “with original” option too.

 * I have the same problem. I like to select “Linked to Image” on my uploaded images,
   then drag them into my posts. This placed a thumbnail image on the post that 
   could be clicked on to make it bigger. I have been doing it this way for some
   time, but now it seems to have broken. The thumbnail images lack the actual /
   blog/ sibdirectory in the path now. I can choose “Send to Editor” and the path
   is correct for the image, but the picture is huge and I have to resize them by
   hand. Why has this happened, how do I fix it?
