   i use the theme fudo by smirnov and i cannot figure out how to save the link in the editor... basically i insert a pic (see home page alkray.com) and click on the add link button in the editor. i insert the desired link, click save and then when i try it out on the site (after refreshing) it has reverted back to some bizarre code i have no idea where it comes from. can you help??? i basically want to link each front page photo to its respective url/page on the site... thanks so much for taking time to answer :)

   Are you highlighting the image before you click on the add link button?

   Click on the image in the editor once you've added it to the post. While it is selected, you can see an option to edit the image. in these settings, you'll find things like resizing the image, aligning it left, right, center and also adding in a link for the image.

   The 'add link' will only work either if you have clicked on the image first, or have highlighted text.

   thanks so much guys! i DID highlight the image, but it never saved the link properly. i now tried to click in the "image edit" icon that appears when you click on the actual image and using that link editor it actually worked! thanks a bunch ;)

   LIKE, it will just make up a url and override the one i saved.

   Can you give us an example of a link you tried to add and the link that WordPress generated?

   I'm having the same problem, it is intermittant but really frustrating. I have tried to alter in the gallery image, in the image in the post, and even in the HTML. No matter what I try the link simply reverts back to what it was: blank in some cases, an exisitng link in others.

   Sometimes I want the image to link to itself so I just click on that image. Half the time I have to delete the image and re-insert it. Today I was trying to substitute a download link to a zip file in the media library (uploads). It's been 10 minutes and it will flat not allow me to change. I'm stumped.
