Here’s a snippet of a post created on the Fedora Project discussion site from our Community Blog: Tell us what you think. Would you use this as your homepage now that it has a search engine field? How do you think we can further improve it? ![](upload://na9g3dGvhEU753JEnGrz8xER4XS.png) OR ![](upload://def2zSzNAJtyuOorvTI2eV7rGW1.png) In you are interested in seeing more, check out the draft on Figma . See how those markdown image lines don’t actually start on new lines? This makes the images not display. If I edit the message and add a carriage return before each ![], the images display properly. Is there something I can change in our setup to fix this? Or is this just a bug in the plugin?

Hey @mattdm, Could you share a link to the original WP post and the Discourse post with the excerpt if they’re published publicly? The WP Discourse plugin essentially just passes whatever HTML it finds in the WP post to Discourse, which then processes it for inclusion in the Discourse post. So how HTML is displayed in snippets of Wordpress posts in Discourse comes down two things The original structure of the HTML in Wordpress (for example) How Discourse’s markdown parser parses HTML for display in Discourse posts (for example). So it’s either going to be Wordpress HTML structural question, which is essentially something outside of WP Discourse or Discourse itself, or largely a question of opinion on what a HTML parser should do, albeit sometimes there’s a clear improvement that can be made on that front. That said, it’s sometimes fruitful to explore the parsing weeds here, so if you have more details about HTML structure of the WP Post, do share and I’ll investigate further :slight_smile:

I had a similar problem on this discourse post, created by the RSS polling plugin (not the wordpress plugin): [imagem] Network Operators Deploy Over 100,000 Cambium Networks CBRS Fixed Wireless...

The ™ in that first line was actually an HTML tag, and the RSS plugin did bring it across correctly. However, the post was broken when Discourse did its “download local copies of images” step: [image] [image]

@simonk Thanks for that useful investigation. Both of you could address the issue by entering your WP domains in the site setting disabled image download domains. If you’re looking to go deeper into the issue, i.e. trying to handle this in some automated fashion, the difference between @mattdm’s case and yours points to the complexity there. He’s expecting the browser’s treatment of HTML and elements to be carried over in the form of a line break in the markdown, whereas you’re expecting almost (not quite) the opposite, i.e. for the image to be still displayed inline with the same dimensions as the existing in the original HTML. For more on this aspect of the issue you can see the existing posts on this, e.g. [imagem] Markdown rendering issue with image surrounded with HTML Bug Sorry for the multiple posts in this topic, but the issue also affects images in posts that are created through our Zendesk plugin when the sync comments from zendesk setting is enabled. The difficulty with this case is that it’s not possible to know the source of the images before hand, so the workaround of adding the image src to the disabled image download domains setting will not work. Is there any way we could just prevent remote images from being downloaded to local if the image tag is wr…

Thanks @simonk – yes, that’s exactly it. [imagem] angus: Both of you could address the issue by entering your WP domains in the site setting disabled image download domains . @angus, what’s the consequence of this? No images at all, or the images cross-linked to the originals on the wordpress site?

I hope we can all agree that something which causes Discourse to show raw markdown rather than rendering it can’t possibly be right, though — especially when that markdown _was created by the plugin. Am I missing something here?

[imagem] mattdm: No images at all, or the images cross-linked to the originals on the wordpress site? The images will be hotlinked to the originals. [imagem] mattdm: show raw markdown rather than rendering it Sorry, I’m confused, I thought your concern about the linebreak? Are you saying the published version (i.e. when you’re just reading, not editing) contains raw markdown, and that’s your concern? [imagem] mattdm: markdown _was created by the plugin The plugin just sends the raw HTML. The markdown is generated when the post is processed in discourse. Give the disabled image download domains a shot and see how you go.

[imagem] angus: Sorry, I’m confused, I thought your concern about the linebreak? Are you saying the published version (i.e. when you’re just reading, not editing) contains raw markdown, and that’s your concern? Because of the lack of a linebreak, when Discourse displays the page — to users, not editors —, instead of showing images where a ![](upload://def2zSzNAJtyuOorvTI2eV7rGW1.png) appears, you just literally see that text. A human needs to intervene and edit the post once it’s auto-posted and add line-breaks before each image instance in order for them to actually show up.

[imagem] angus: Give the disabled image download domains a shot and see how you go. I can do that, but I’d prefer the images to be downloaded – that’s a nice feature if the other site is down, if the blog changes, or etc. And we’re not near our hosting capacity so I’m not concerned about the space.

I see, thanks for clarifying. Honestly, this is unlikely to change anytime soon for the reasons discussed in the topic I linked above. For example The key thing for us is to maintain the integrity of the content, so the newline solution will probably not happen. The problem is that if you were to try and autocorrect for the issue you’re describing it would potentially create other issues. The current solution here is to add your wordpress domain to the disabled image download domains site setting. edit I’ve made a small proposal on that front, but it’s speculative and I would reiterate that the current solution here is to disable image downloads for your WP domain. [imagem] Markdown rendering issue with image surrounded with HTML Bug This issue has cropped up again Just thinking out-loud here, but I wonder if we can elide the tricky problem here (i.e. the conversion of HTML to markdown). To recap (just to help think this through) Discourse supports the importation of HTML for the creation of post content (e.g. HTML from WP Discourse). In some contexts the user expects the integrity of the original HTML to be retained exactly. “integrity” here has at least two aspects: How the content is rendered, e.g. linebreak…
