The images appear just fine, until I add a link to them, at which point, they still look okay in edit mode, but when I go out to check the page outside of "edit", the image is not there. All that shows is the caption, if there was one.
Can anyone tell me what I can do to get my images to accept links and still show up?
Thanks!

OH, by the way, I'm using 3.2.1, which I just installed. I actually thought it may have been a bad installation, so I reinstalled only to have the same problem. I am using the default 2011 theme.
Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be able to offer much in the way of assistance.

Here's the page I'm working on: http://www.healinghandsapothecary.com/blog/
Have you tried:
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
- resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

I haven't added any plugins except one, just a few minutes ago. IT's a podcast plug in... However..it's the only one I've added, and the problem existed before I added the plugin. But thanks for the suggestion.

I am thinking I'll try to get an earlier version of WordPress. The earlier versions of wordpress I've tried never gave me this problem.
It's not a WordPress core issue. And if you use an older version of WordPress, you're effectively opening up your site up to hackers.

Okay.. I went back to a previous version, got it installed, and viola'!! IT's all fixed. Evidently, there's a bug in the latest version..... (Just in case anyone else has problems)

And just as a further verification on this, when I had everything working perfectly, I hit the "upgrade" button, to upgrade to 3.2.1, just to SEE if it might work that way.. To my dismay, the problems immediately reappeared, just like before. So now... I will have to uninstall and go back and install the previous version again. But at least I know that was definitely the problem.
This is been a very frustrating experience, trying to fix something for 2 full days that couldn't be fixed in the first place.
About effectively opening myself up to hackers: It's either that, or not using WordPress. I'll keep using WordPress with the versions that do work, and if something happens "hacker-wise", I'll just use something else. That's really the only option I see at this point.
This will be a plugin and\or theme issue. It is not a WordPress 3.2.1 core issue.

Once again, I appreciate the suggestion, but I do NOT have ANY plugins. On this second installation, I did not ever even install a plugin. It was essentially the bare bones 2011 theme, as a fresh install.

Maybe the 2011 default theme is faulty..... Hmmmmmmmm
I'm running many WordPress 3.2.1 sites - some of which are my own. And not one of them has this issue. There are literally tens of thousands of people inserting linked captioned images into their WordPress sites every day. Don't you think that if this was a WP 3.2.1 core problem, we'd have been over-run with support topics on the subject in the last 3(?) months?
So this seems to be an issue that is specific to your site - not WordPress itself. The markup for your captioned, linked, images is completely malformed and looks like it has been badly pasted in from the Visual Editor - judging by the <div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"> markup that is associated with it.

The wordpress I'm using was installed directly from Bluehost.com. I have no idea how that works, but I'm assuming that what is there on their site is the same as all the others (the version of WordPress).
All I know is what I'm experiencing. By the way...while looking for an answer to my problem, I have found numerous others with similar problems who were told the same thing as I was.... I wonder how many of their problems could have been solved by ditching the new version? I guess we will never know. Thank goodness I decided to go back to the previous version... otherwise, I'd still be in the fix I was in earlier.
It doesn't work (plugins or not) in 3.2.1.
It DOES work in the older version.
It is what it is.....
Maybe the 2011 default theme is faulty
Again - used by thousands. It's an extremely popular theme and works perfectly on my development server.
I have no idea how that works, but I'm assuming that what is there on their site is the same as all the others (the version of WordPress).
I do not use Bluehost so I could not confirm that this is the case. If in doubt, always download from wordpress.org.
Thank goodness I decided to go back to the previous version...
