   Hey,

   I'm pretty new to wordpress admin, have posted for about a year for someone else, but have just begun setting up some of my own sites...

   I'm having this problem.

   When I insert an image (or a link to a page) in a post everything looks fine until I hit 'post' or ('update' if a current post)

   The image disappears and is replaced with "\"

   Check out the post here: http://godfirst.co.za/production/sound-training/

   Similar thing happens with links... as you can also see on the post

   I've removed all the plugins i was using to see if they were causing it, i could try loading a different theme, but does anyone else have a solution..?

   on first glance....it looks like a permalinks issue? Maybe something to do with your .htaccess. Could also be a theme issue. It's hard to distinguish on my end sometimes.

   Try to reset your permalinks to default.
   Test your site. If all is well, set permalinks back to custom.

   If the above doesn't work, switch to default theme and test your site

   Tried Resetting permalinks to default, but it still does the same thing... tried a different theme also, still the same...

   Have 3 wordpress installs on this site in different folders, the 2 others are in the same database, this one in a separate one... not sure if that will affect...

   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've disabled all plugins, tried other themes, reset permalinks to default, it still does it, gonna have a look at .htaccess.

   The main site: godfirst.co.za is a drupal site, and when i first set up the 'production' page it denied access to it somehow, this may be the issue?

   think this is definitely a .htaccess problem.

   Have read a couple other posts, but can't seem to get it to work no matter what i try...

   think these are the problem lines in the .htaccess file in the root of the site:

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on

   # Rewrite URLs of the form 'x' to the form 'index.php?q=x'.
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
   </IfModule>

   Not sure if i can comment these out as it may screw up something with the drupal portion of the site...

   Ah! - I've seen something simular before where Drupal and WP didn't play nice together when Drupal was installed in the root domain. My guess is that Drupal's .htaccess file is the problem. It's rewriting the WP permalinks before they get to WP.
