Hmmm… my site dashboard said I was using 2.9.2 (upgraded whenever needed via dashboard) but NetSol webhosting said I was using a 2.8 version. When I updated from within NetSol, my photo uploading capacity corrected itself… so far so good. Go figure.
I would post a link with a specific example but there is nothing there. In draft form, on the Visual view, the photo shows the broken image icon (while the HTML view looks as it should). When the blog entry is Saved/Published, the photo (empty oblong with broken image icon) shrinks to nothing. In the published blog, the photo does not appear at all (as opposed to showing a broken image icon).
