Images not publishing to Discourse in WP 5.3

Support WordPress

The problem seems to be that when the Discourse upload markdown is wrapped in HTML tags, the markdown isn’t getting parsed. For example, this is what I’m seeing for a WordPress post after the Discourse PullHotlinkedImages Job is run:

<small>Originally published at:			https://scossar.com/figure-tags-cause-issues/
		</small><br>
<figure class="wp-block-image">![](upload://3hPHOMnM5v5srjlz5QWGmVxY4AL.jpeg)</figure>

Editing the post to remove any html tags that are surrounding the markdown link solves the issue, but a proper solution will need to be found for this.
