I believe that you might be looking at the HTML version of the post. It happens quite often to me – only to realize that clicking “Visual” in editor mends the problem

I still cannot see that hapening.

just in case this is the same bug with images and unsaved post I have tried to post a new entry and then add images to it – to no avail.

I have also submitted the thing to bugtrac, however no response there..

Just out of curiosity I made a new WP2.8 blog (default theme) with just OpenID plugin installed. Nope; not working – ‘invalid openid.mode’

xinfo, as I said there are two things to be done.

Suppose you use single.php (or elsewhere) and know how to pull the first image off the media gallery and want to give it a caption the same as title of the post.

You can use the same HTML structure as is created automatically when you insert the image manually in the WP Editor:

<div id="attachment_ID" class="my-caption">
<img class="size-medium wp-image-ID" title="Your_attachment_title" src="http://sunshine.by/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gej_komiks_adam_i_endi_20090619-275x82.gif" alt="Your_attahcment_title"/><p class="my-caption-text">Caption Text</p></div>

Within this structure you
(1) pull the images
(2) form the above HTML structure output and
(3) cahnge the Caption_Text with php code
<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>

this is will make the whole thing look like it does in normal WP theme image insertion

From this point it is only styling:

You can ncreate two more styles and apply them – one to the container DIV and the second one – to the Caption P

For imstance:

my-caption {border:1 solid #000; background-color:#000; padding:none; margin:none;}
my-caption-text {test-transform:capitalize; font-size:18px; color:#fff; text-align:center;padding:5px 1px; margin:0px;}

This will make sure that the image is on top followed by the block of text which is white on black and padded from top and bottom 5px and 1px from left and right

Will do the tick!

The problem now becoms The Problem since WLW is generall a better way to post, but now I have to go through all this silly TinyMCE…

I would go and check the_category()

Please note that it may return a few, so you may want to show only the first category returned (when the post is in a few categories) or a random one at that.

Sorry, nsgibson, I just do not seem to grasp your idea

Correct me if I am wrong, but you want to replace the bottom line of EACH AND EVERY post? In this case you just need to modify the theme file single.php

In the default theme it is around

<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('<p class="serif">' . __('Read the rest of this entry »', 'kubrick') . '</p>'); ?>
</div>

<XXXXXXXXXXX> – after which is where you post you image to keep semantics and validity and make sure it does not break you design

Otherwise, I just do not understand…

I have the same problem.

The theme I develop seriously relies of Media Library and without it is practically worthless.

Any suggestions?
Point being made is that when the post is sent to the WP 2.8 blog, WLW creates the necessary images and passes the control to WP, which creates thimbnailset al, but does not add it to the library.

Any ideas?
