 * Hi…
 * A bug seems to have cropped up for me since upgrading to WordPress 2.7 regarding
   the ‘insert image into post’ function
 * Basically, any images i insert into a post are not ‘clickable’ and are not ‘linked’
   to the bigger copy of the image…
 * It would seem from a simple bit of investigation, that when i click the ‘insert
   image into post’ button, that the generated HTML is incorrect
 * Here is a couple of examples of HTML code before and after the WP2.7 upgrade
 * ————————————————————————–
 * BEFORE WP2.7:
 * this was the code that got entered into a post when pressing the ‘insert into
   post’ button
 * `<a href="http://lesandpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/may-2008-035-custom.
   jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-179"><img src="http://lesandpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/
   2008/10/may-2008-035-custom-392x590.jpg" alt="" title="Dad & Paul" width="392"
   height="590" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-179" /></a>`
 * ———————————————————————-
 * AFTER WP2.7 UPGRADE:
 * this is now the code that is entered into a post when pressing the ‘insert into
   post’ button
 * `<img src="http://lesandpaul.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/may-2008-035-custom-
   392x590.jpg" alt="Dad & Paul" title="Dad & Paul" width="392" height="590" class
   ="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-179" />`
 * ————————————————————————-
 * As you can see, the code is COMPLETELY different… it appears to be entering only
   the code to place the image into the post, without it linking to the fullsized
   image…
 * How do i fix this?
 * Many Thanks

 * You are clicking the “File URL” or the “Post URL” button before the “Inster into
   Post” button, right?
 * By doing that it fills in the Link URL information.

 * I beleve this has been resolved in the 2.8 release.
