.. being added by visual editor in tags

    We’re having a really strange issue with a self-hosted WordPress blog and I’ve been unable to find any answers as to why this is happening… when I use the visual editor to do a blog post, quite often when I insert a picture the visual editor inserts a .. in front of the img src part of the image tag — so what happens is that the image doesn’t appear (broken link) and once you remove the .. it works fine — for example, the correct path is:

    <img src=”/blah/stuff/pictures”>

    but very frequently the visual editor puts this in:

    <img src=”../blah/stuff/pictures”>

    Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas on how to keep this from happening? This also seems to screw up my RSS feeds, because the feed gets the initial code that has the .. in front of the image paths (which results in broken images). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Have you recently installed any plugins or using a new theme? Is this a barebones WordPress install?

    This is not a barebones WordPress installation. This was a former Typepad blog that was migrated to a self-hosted WP installation. This has been happening since the beginning. The programmers/designer basically have only said to stop using the visual editor and just do HTML as their solution — this isn’t a solution for me. I want to be able to use the visual editor.

    Is this only happening with images? Can you insert a video file into a post and it works?

    What theme are you using? Or do you use a custom one?

    This is happening with a custom theme. I have not tried videos yet.

    It’s hard to say, without being able to look at the code within the themes files. There could be a piece of code stuck in there causing the issue as I’ve never heard of anybody else ever having an issue like this.
