CallMeAndy

The point was I wanted the image in the post I didnt want a featured Image.

However I have just discovered why….oh silly me.

Some how I ended up with two plugins that ensured automatic thumbnail creation. To try to isolate the problem I had disabled what I thought was the plugin automatically creating thumbnails – and it was still happening.

Of course disabling the plugin stopped the automatic recreation.

I still dont understand why that particular jpg could not be displayed in the browsers however. If I rename the file that problem has gone however. I cant see what is wrong with the filename however so I am none the wiser.

Anyway time to put this one in the bin and move on!
Thanks Krishna.

Looked at two more tonight 00:20,
at Havana Lion this article seemed to be as it should be.
Th second one I looked at
relating to this post

not so – images either missing (no src still) but when they are there (3rd img), they are from the first post example above.

Here is the code from the second article:

There are many reasons why you might want to visit a country during its months of ‘downtime’ and Thailand is no exception to this.  Some popular reasons why people choose to visit during a low season include:</p><ul><li>Cheaper flights and accommodation</li><li>More choices of accommodation</li><li>Less tourists and other visitors</li><li>Chance of seeing the ‘real’ destination as opposed to during the tourist-centric peak season</li><li>Possible to avoid the heat and humidity of the summer season</li></ul><p>While there are many advantages of visiting Thailand during the quieter, low season months, which partly coincide with the rainy season, there are also a few disadvantages to be aware of.</p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_2395" style="width: 610px;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2395" title="Answering the most difficult travel question" alt="" width="600" height="344" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Beach During the Rainy Season – Photo Credit: <a class="colorbox" href="http://www.baconismagic.ca/canada/snorkeling-with-beluga-whales/" target="_blank"> Steve C. (Flickr)</a></p></div><h2>Thailand’s Rainy Season</h2><p>The rainy season in Thailand tends to run from May to October, once Songkran has finished and until the Loy Kratong festival. However, it changes on a yearly basis and affects different parts of the country very differently. While the ‘term rainy’ season conjures up images of all-day monsoons, that isn’t the case in Thailand.</p><p>On days when it rains, there will typically be a build-up of uncomfortable humidity before the weather breaks in the afternoon or evening, and there is an <b>intensely impressive downpour accompanied by a tropical storm</b>. This isn’t your typical European rain; this is Thai rain which is warm, hard and heavy. Once the rain does begin to fall, it is usually a welcome sight as at this point, it means the humidity subsides for a very brief period after the downpour making the climate almost pleasant. These storms are normally accompanied by powerful thunder and lightning shows will are great to watch.</p><p>However, these <b>storms don’t occur every day</b>, even at the height of the rainy season, which changes according to which part of the country you are in. This can be good for getting out and about without getting soaked but it also increases the long humid build up periods, making life pretty hot and sweaty.</p><p>If you choose to come to Thailand during the low season when rain is more common you should prepare yourself for a few of the <b>negative aspects of the country during this time of year:</b></p><h3>Lack of Direct Sunlight</h3><p>One is a lack of direct sunlight. This means if you have come for a suntan, you might be disappointed, as while it is still hot, the <b>sky is generally overcast</b>, preventing the rays from reaching you. This can also be a plus of coming at this time of year as it can make the climate a little more comfortable in terms of protecting you from the direct heat of the sun.</p><h3>Scuba Diving and Snorkelling</h3><p>As the amount of rain increases, the seas become more disturbed, which can make scuba diving and snorkelling, something which Thailand is famed for, not a good idea. <b>Underwater visibility levels become very low</b> during the low season thanks to the extra rainfall. This means that diving activities are usually put on hold until the peak months due to the often disappointing lack of visibly.</p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_2396" style="width: 610px;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2396" alt="" width="600" height="338" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Floods on Samui – Photo Credit: <a class="colorbox" target="_blank">Soma (Flickr)</a></p></div><h3>Flash Floods</h3><p>While it doesn’t does often flood on a national scale, apart from in 2011, the downpours during the rainy season often overpower the drains that serve the roads. This is usually temporary and the water levels subside after an hour or so.</p><p>However for those trying to get somewhere, finding an available or mobile taxi can be difficult, and most motorcycle taxis tend to avoid travelling during these <b>street floods</b>. If you plan on travelling by road during the rainy season in Thailand, such as by bus or minivan, make sure you allow for some disruption to your itinerary as it is highly likely to occur.</p><p>These mini-floods can also bring out a whole host of wildlife including monitor lizards and large snakes which can be exciting but also dangerous. For this reason it is good to keep your wits about you while wading through the floodwater. The dirty water from the drains and struggling sewer system is another very good reason not to go barefoot exploring during the floods if at all possible.</p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_2397" style="width: 610px;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2397" alt="" src="http://photos.baconismagic.ca/Travel/Ecuador/i-BKqDg9W/0/650x650/whale%20watching-650x650.jpg" width="600" height="401" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Flash Floods – Photo Credit: <a class="colorbox" target="_blank">Hankoss (Flickr)</a></p></div><h2>Should I Visit Thailand During the Low Season?</h2><p>There are just as many good reasons for choosing to travel to Thailand during the low season as there are bad ones. When planning your trip it is up to you to weigh up the pros and cons of each of the three main seasons and decide which are more important to you.</p><p>It is certainly cheaper to come during the off-peak months but you might miss out on some of the main attractions of the country which make this such as popular destination.</p><p>Thailand can often struggle with the amount of backpackers and travellers who arrive on its shores each year. Especially during the peak months of November to February, as well as April during the Songkran festival and the Thai New Year.</p><p>Popular beaches such as those on Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Phi Phi can become uncomfortably crowded during the peak months around Christmas, making this a good time to avoid if a lack of rain and lots of sun isn’t the most important thing for you.</p><p>Overall Thailand is still very much an excellent travel destination during the low season months. However it is important to be aware of the differences before making your trip so you know what you might be missing out on and letting yourself in for.</p><p>Read the full post on : <a class="colorbox" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HavanaLion/~3/vKggRryPibM/">Havana Lion</a></p>

Off to bed now – knackered!
Thanks Allen.

When you Delete permanently they are deleted from that folder, not just database. I checked earlier. Well I haven’t seen it for a while but I haven’t posted a lot until the last couple of days.

I think it is an old problem as I have seen the behaviour before many times – most times it stayed gone but I wouldn’t mind betting this means I just didn’t update the post again afterwards – I think last time I got around a persistent occurrence by renaming files re uploading etc..

But sometimes it has been difficult to shed an old image and replace it with a new one which seems like a similar or the same problem underlying things. It is not a browser cache issue or anything like that.

The thing is even if it solves the issue from a rogue file perspective it, the fiddling around still takes to much time, it is a disaster for productivity if it happens every batch of new posts. It wouldn’t be so burdensome if there were not other issues to sort out as well, So I really want to know what is the cause, in order to guard against it.

Thanks for coming back.

I gave an example of the original in the post above.

Here is a screenshot of a preview courtesy of my WP editor.

Note bottom left the url in the status box at the time the mouse pointer on my screen was hovered over the: Read the Full Post On Link: Wild About travel. Also note the image is not showing at all in this instance.

You sound like you don’t believe me Allen, I have no axe to grind with you, on the contrary I am trying to give you as much as possible to help you find the solution – please trust me – most times it is showing the wrong image – if you want I can give you another example.

but more specifically here is the code:

You can see responsibletravel is in all the links as opposed to wild-about-travel and also additionally the missing image is not formed correctly – no src. But look at the title and what it would have been pointing to if it had have had the src attribute: wrong image.

Yes I am aware that I can do this. But change for the sake of it is not a good idea. I don’t have the time to test every aspect after a change and usually I just find out sometime later that the site has had its functionality impaired.

So I like to know if their is value for my scenario in the upgrade.

I am also aware that the people here are forum volunteers and WP.ORG staff and that they have no control over what goes on with a developer and his theme – its about pushing buttons – some dont work – some do. But that said I was not aware of the bumping rules, so thanks for the pointer.
