What do you mean by only getting the alt attribute? That instead of the image displaying you get the text you put in as alt=””? If so there is likely something to be wrong with the url to the image. Do you host it yourself?
I uploaded the image to WP. And yes all that appears is the text in the alt attribute.
We need a link to the site.
WP gives you the link with the ; in there
The requested URL /WHPblogs/wp-content/SpinningGlobe3_01.gif was not found on this server.
I noticed this seems to be happening in the latest 1.5 releases too. I just work around it myself.
This may be the problem as well:
<img src="wp-content/SpinningGlobe3_01.gif" " alt="SpinGlobe" width=10% height=10%>
Note the extra single quote/tick between the image name and the alt tag. And do you really want those percentage declarations in there? Why not the exact image size in pixels? Just curious.
And one more thing, I don’t know if it makes any difference, but I always use double quotes rather than single quotes. Like this:
<img src="wp-content/SpinningGlobe3_01.gif" alt="SpinGlobe" width="10%" height="10%">
I don’t know what the deal is but it still won’t work. It’s just a simple image!!! lol
I’m having the same problem – it doesn’t matter how I type my image tag – the image isn’t showing up in the entry. I look at the source code for the post, and it doesn’t even exist, even though it’s there when I go into the admin panel to edit.
I’ve used the link that the Upload Manager gave me, I’ve taken out the semi-colon, I’ve tried single quotes, double quotes, I’ve tried putting in the entire URL to the image, I’ve used the img quicktag, and I’ve written it by hand, and I’ve brought up the image alone in a browser to make sure it works. I’ve even tried to show images posted on other sites, and I can’t get an image to show up – except on the main page.
The photo shows up on the main page here, but if you look at the first two entries in the archives (Jan 7 and 14) there is no image there, and not even an image tag.

I’d like to use this for the Photo Friday Challenge, but if I can’t post photos in my entries, then it’s useless.
It seems images just aren’t showing up in the archives for me. I’m looking around to see if there’s already been an answer to this one, but not having luck so far.
I found it!
Images don’t show up in archives if archives are set to show excerpt.
