And

  • How was Ghost installed and configured?
  • What Node version, database, OS & browser are you using?
  • What errors or information do you see in the console?
  • What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having?

Expected behavior:
If one adds a feature image or images to the editor, the behavior should be that the image is copied from the src folder to the destination folder and the image appear in the editor.

Unexpected behavior:
NodeJS window closes and Ghost stops upon adding images to posts, pages, authors, tags. One can only add Unsplash as feature images.

I am unsure how or where to upload the log file on this forum, and it is most definitely need in this case. I am also unsure of the privacy/security of sharing logs in open forum. Would someone be kind enough to advise? Thank you.
