As far as I remember the settings are kept on a by-user basis. When you log in as the same user that you changed the settings for you should see them come up as they were when you were last logged in as that user.
Cool…. so that means, theoretically, if *they* log in later on their computer they should see the settings I created for them. right?
that’s how its supposed to work, yes. try it out before you count on it
well, it seems to be more or less working, though some things sneak back, like “slug” for example. God only knows why. BUt it’s definitely better than before.
One thing that I really need to stick is the bug in wordpress that adds links to images by default. Right now I have to go through posts and remove the image links by hand (what value they serve is beyond me). So I create a fake post, upload an image, remove the “link” option, and it seems to reset things to the “no link” option. But within a day, they’re back. I don’t know if other people’s browsers are not getting the change or if it’s user error… do you know if that option is supposed to work the same way? Or maybe it’s in the user’s browser cookie?
Adding links to images by default is the way WordPress is designed. You may have a preference that the default be other than it is, but that is a difference of opinion, not a bug.
The way the media gallery works is an image’s URL is entered in the “Link URL” box when the image is uploaded. If you don’t want the image to be linked to a larger version of itself, while inserting the image click the “None” button under the link URL box. This clears out the URL box. Then WordPress will insert the image with no link.
I agree this is not the most intuitive design, and it causes newer users to have links inserted where they don’t want them. However, if no link was the default, just as many users would be complaining that links aren’t inserted automatically. There’s really no way to please both groups of users.
You can prevent the link from being inserted by clicking the None button each time before you insert an image. You can train yourself to remember to do it – I have.
