talon39I recently installed WP 2.6.5.
The site is located here http://blog.gocantoneering.com
This was a fresh install (not an upgrade).
I haven't modified anything other than adding a theme.
I wanted to add an rss button to the sidebar so people could easily subscribe to my blog. I discovered that images will not display in my text widget. Additionally when I add a link, the URL gets butchered.
I have added the following code to the text widget exactly:
<img src=”http://faq.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/b28.png” alt="Test Image"/>
<br />
<a href=”http://www.gocanyoneering.com/blog/feed/”>Test Link</a>This should display an image of a small rss icon and a link underneath with the text "Test Link". As you can see the image is not visible. For some reason in only displays the image's alt tag which would normally be hidden. The URL of the link is also butchered. The link should point to http://www.gocanyoneering.com/blog/feed/ , However it actually points to http://blog.gocanyoneering.com/%E2%80%9Dhttp://www.gocanyoneering.com/blog/feed/%E2%80%9D
If you right click the images alt text "Test Image", then look at the image properties, you will see the image location is http://blog.gocanyoneering.com/%E2%80%9Dhttp://faq.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/b28.png%E2%80%9D However it should be http://faq.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/b28.png .
However, if you look at the page source, the html looks ok. Why is it changing the urls?
I also tried version 2.6.3 with the same problem. This problem occurs with every theme (including the default theme). Is something wrong with the text widget in these two versions? What could cause this? This is the second fresh install, the site is straigh out of the box. The install went smoothly and I have not customized the site. I have not added or activated any plugins. I only added a text widget with the code above.
