Really Annoying Wordpress 2.2 bug

    After you upload an image for a post and go to edit it, does anyone notice that the image then disassociates with the post it was uploaded for? This is really annoying. Has anyone else noticed this?

    that happens when you use the visual editor...

    I would recommend that you disable it like so:
    Log into your WordPress admin area. Click on Users. Next, click on Your Profile. Under Personal Options, make sure the box in front of “Use the visual editor when writing” is un-checked.

    Now, when you write a post you will see an editor with just a minimum of tags to use. You can add any XHTML code manually. After writing your post click “Save and Continue Editing”. Now you will see a “Preview” link to the right of the allowable tags. That’s right, even though you haven’t clicked “Publish” yet, WordPress creates a draft of your post, but it won’t be saved completely until you actually click “Save“. You can click “Save” when you want to save your draft permanently to work on it later, and then click “Publish” when you are satisfied with your post.

    for inserting an image here's an example of code you would insert into your post:
    <img src="http://yoursite.com/imagedirectory/yourimage.gif" border="0" alt="image description" style="float:left; padding: 0 5px;" />
    Code (markup):
    that code above would give you an image to the left of your paragraph so if you wanted one on the right..you would change the "float" attribute to "right"

    Thanks, that's very helpful. Do you know of any plug-ins I could use to get around this? This type of approach works well for me, but not so well for my client who doesn't know anything about code. I used WP for a client of mine so that she could update her site herself. Do you know if this is just a bug that is not on their radar or is this intentional?
