# Different HTML being generated for same post – intermittent

* Love this theme. Thanks again for all your fine work…
* I’ve discovered a ramdomly occuring problem when displaying posts. In some instances,
the post is displayed as if it had a “featured image” despite the fact that there
is no featured image. The image appears at the top of the post above the title.
The image it uses is an edited version of the first image on the page.
* I’ve observed the problem on both Firefox and Chrome.
* When I “refresh” the browser, the “featured image” disappears and the post looks
correct.
* This problem is intermittent but has been reported by my client. They too find
that refreshing the page fixes it. Today, I too experienced the problem and captured
some useful information. I’m hoping you can use this information to help identify
the source of the problem.
* I’ve done a “view source” on both the faulty view and of the correct view. The
HTML generated is quite different.
* To help you to identify the problem I’ve uploaded some images and text files
as follows:
* 1- [Screenshot of the post showing “featured image” (the faulty view).](http://jag.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Display-of-Post-in-Chrome-showing-image-appearing-in-the-wrong-place.jpg)
2- [Screenshot of the post as refreshed (the correct view).](http://jag.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Display-of-Post-in-Chrome-correctly-displayed.jpg)
3- [Screenshot of editing the post showing that there is no “featured image”.](http://jag.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screenshot-Showing-that-this-Post-has-no-Featured-Image.jpg)
4- [HTML (excerpt of the relevant part) the faulty view.](http://jag.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Source-HTML-for-the-faulty-view-of-post.txt)
5- [HTML (excerpt of the relevant part) after refreshing (correct view).](http://jag.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Source-HTML-for-the-correct-view-of-post.txt)
* If you compare the two text files containing the HTML you can see the img tag
in one (width 996) and that img tag is not present on the correct view. In other
words the theme appears to be generating different HTML when displaying the same
post and I don’t know why it would do that.
* Is there anything else you need to try to identify the cause of this condition?
Just let me know.
* The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdifferent-html-being-generated-for-same-post-intermittent%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

* I think I’ve resolved this problem myself. I found a useful link on github:
[https://github.com/presscustomizr/customizr/issues/815](https://github.com/presscustomizr/customizr/issues/815)
The problem seems to be related to a rather old bug (classic misuse of “==” instead
of “=”) which, according to the aforementioned article had been fixed. But it
clearly has re-appeared (at least intermittently).
* The cause is as follows:
Apparently, in “Media”, each image has a status of “
Uploaded to”. This status connects an image to a post. The status depends on
how the image is uploaded. If it is uploaded via the “Media” menu => Add New,
the image remains “Unattached”. But if the image is uploaded during the “edit”
process of the post itself, the image gets “attached” to the post. That’s the
first part of what was causing this problem. The “attach” status is visible in
the “media” menu when viewed as a list (not as a grid).
* The second part it the way WordPress treats a post with no specified “Featured
Image”. WordPress looks for any image that is “attached” to the post, and, if
found, treats it as the posts “featured image”. In other words, the image becomes
a default “featured image” for the attached post.
* In the “Customizr” theme, when specified, the featured image is displayed above
the title of the post with a max height of 100px. The image is automatically
stretched and/or cropped to 100px in height and is stretched to 1170px width.
In my particular case, the post had an “attached” image. That “attached” image
was treated as a “featured image”. In this case, the “attached” image was already
1170 wide but was 400 high. The cropping process in Customizr chopped off the
bottom of the image before displaying it above the title.
* To solve my problem, I’ve used the “detach” link in the “media” list. The problem“
seems” to be resolved (it hasn’t re-appeared so far). I’m hoping that’s because
when “Customizr” doesn’t detect any attached image, it doesn’t display anything
above the post title.
* While this correction should fix my problem, it doesn’t explain why, when I was
experiencing the problem, the problem only appeared intermittently. That suggests
there is still a bug to be found but I’ll leave that to others.
