No doubt you’ve already come across the new WordPress filter. It protects you and me from malicious people who would like to steal your login information, bank details and first-born child.
Unfortunately it also does some annoying things.
One of those is so strip attributes from html tags. A common one that I’ve stumbled across is the IMG tag.
In my carefree days long ago, I would do <img src=”someurl”> and be done with it, but not any more. Kses adds a “/” at the end and if there isn’t a space after the src=”" bit, it strips that out! Grrr!
So, what have we learned? <img src=”someurl” /> works but
<img src=”someurl”> doesn’t.

i haven’t had any issues with the html img tags being stripped. i have been having issues with uploaded images [into wordpress.com] disappearing. i’ve tried browsing for the missing images using the image browser but discovered the images are missing. i’ve sent feedback.. still waiting on a response. each time i try to reupload images and insert them into their corresponding posts, the images disappear again.

Is there anyway to tag the images for technorati?

I was having a problem with the img tags disappearing. I tried using /> but didnt work. The images were height=”125″ width=”125″ I changed it to height=”129″ width=”125″ and uploaded it and all my images started working. I still dont know why one simple little pixel change like that fixed it but if anyones having that problem then give it a try.
