I had to stop using WordPress’s native image processing because I quickly exceeded the space they provide. So I started embedding images from Flickr with the “Flickr embed” block, which solved the space problem.
However, for some readers, their email client, mostly on iPhones, was displaying the image aspect ratio incorrectly in the copy of my posts that WordPress emails to them.
In an attempt to solve that problem, I am now trying to use “custom HTML” blocks to embed images. It solves the aspect ratio problem for the readers who had it, but for some other readers they only see a URL for the image, not the image itself.
Here’s the HTML I’m using:
<div > <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewdressel/54910258108/in/album-72177720330195229/" title="DSCF1630"> <img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54910258108_aa0c906e85_o.jpg" width="800" height="auto" alt="DSCF1630" /></a> </div>
Here’s a URL to my test post:
A reader reporting the new issue says she’s “using Google Chrome on an iMac with Sonoma 14.6.1”
Any idea why this works for some and not for others? What should I try now?
