   I am not new to WordPress. I have made numerous websites based on WordPress and most of them included a decent amount of custom code etc. But this latest problem has me baffled.

   Here's the thing. I have a specific image. Nothing special. An image of a watch ( http://tijdvoorpolitiek.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/pechtold_DSC8582-HD.jpg ).

   It uploads just fine to the media library and everything seems okay. However, when I make a new post and try to insert it into the page, the awkwardness begins.

   When I try to insert it as a medium sized thumbnail (which I use the most), the image just vanishes. When viewing the generated code, I see this:
   <a href="http://tijdvoorpolitiek.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/pechtold_DSC8582-HD2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-379 bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep" title="pechtold_DSC8582-HD2" src="http://tijdvoorpolitiek.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/pechtold_DSC8582-HD2-300x250.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="250" /></a>

   Notice the bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep class that WordPress has added automatically? What the hell?

   When I try to insert the image as a small 150x150 thumbnail it works fine. Likewise fot the full-size image. Alignment settings don't seem to matter.

   Removing the classes manually through the code editor doesn't seem to work. Naturally, I made sure that the medium-sized thumbnail has been generated correctly... and it has ( http://tijdvoorpolitiek.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/pechtold_DSC8582-HD2-300x250.jpg ).

   I haven't got a clue what makes WordPress act like this but I tried a few things:
   - Other images work fine (all sizes)
   - Reuploading the image doesn't work
   - Even editing the image in Photoshop (resizing it or whatever), then uploading it again doesn't work

   What the f*ck is up with this image? Am I missing something? The image can hardly be corrupt becaue photoshop throws no errors and opens/edits/saves it without problems.

   I am at a loss, all help would be appreciated.

   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).

   - switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

   And to add insult to injury, the weird classes are added everything I switch from code-mode to WYSIWYG-mode and also when publishing the post. So after a few tries, the code looks something like this:

   `<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-379 bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep bxzjfhjdzedpoeyoatep" title="pechtold_DSC8582-HD2" src="http://tijdvoorpolitiek.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/pechtold_DSC8582-HD2-300x250.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="250" />

   Yes, of course I have de-activated all plugins :), it was a no-go.

   And changed theme? And tried the plugin reset?

   I just now tried to upload the image to a 100% clean WordPress install.

   Still not working... there must be something wrong with the image, but I just can't figure out what. I even made a version of the image with just about every piece of meta-info removed.

   Is there a photo-expert in the house :D?

   Have you tried using another image format - like .png - to see if it's a jpg encoding issue?

   I just tried uploading the image to different websites on different hosts. 3 different websites on 2 different hosts all displayed the exact same results.

   However, when downloading the entire website (files and SQL) to my local LAMP, it does work. Could it be a PHP setting?

   Well I'm still pretty much clueless.

   As far as I can tell, it's a combination of this image and some PHP setting/script or whatever.

   Can anyone download the image and try to add it to a post/draft of theirs as a medium-sized thumbnail? Let me know if it works.

    I had the same weird classes being added on my images in wordpress.

    I fought this for almost an hour, and I realized it had nothing to do with wordpress eventually. I have the Ad Block Plus extension installed on FireFox and this was my problem. I had a class names "ad-space" and add block plus automatically hid the page item.

    I had an image with alt="ad" and it wouln't show, I has a dic with class="ad-space" also wouldnt show.

    I had the same weird classes being added on my images in wordpress.

    Hopefully this saves someone a future headache.
