beyond my paygrade....

Where you doing the editing on the Apple phone?

if so, then try doing the editing on the computer, it seems that I had heard of some sore of bug with iphones and ipads that did something like this.

Thanks for sharing

That's a strange problem and above my ability. You need a pro for this.

I have had that happen on occasion.  you have to rename the pciture, and it is very possible that you took the picture upside down.  So it is reverting to that format.  I  had that happen with someone else's photo that they sent me. A

I thought I'd heard all of the photo issues here, but that's a new one!  I'd do what Fred Griffin suggested.  Strange! -Kasey

     Suggest:   when sharing to social media sites (especially Facebook), upload the image first.  Upload it from your computer.  Then add the blog post.  Takes a little more time, and some adjustments might be needed... but it should be "right side up", and the image you want gets displayed. 

There has been some issues with the featured photo, and have not used it.

I'm sorry that you have still those editing issues. I uploaded today few and shared too. Did you clean your history? maybe restart too? 

I just don't ge all bothered by this stuff.

Wish I was techie to help you

Every app or program that edits or manages an image file has its particular algorithms to address a broad range of user actions. Every program. This includes the programs you may not even think of as programs, but they're touching the file. The file management system of your operating systems involved in moving the file where you want it- Windows, Mac, etc. and the browser you use to upload and download the image to any online software which also has a hand in how the file is managed, and then the browser again as you upload the photo to share, where the receiving platform, ActiveRain, Facebook, etc. has its own protocols for managing images and other files. Sometimes the programming somewhere tries a little too hard to figure out what users intended for a file, based on pure mathematical and stastistical analysis and gets it wrong and you get the photo flip. If it happens enough, your solution is to develop your own process for managing the final version of a photo you want to share to the web. I would consider an online editor like iPiccy and the others as the most likely to give you a file that might be misinterpreted if passed directly from the online editor to a web platform. In that case, you may want to give the photo one final stop in your most stable and favorite photo manager/editor on your computer and output a file optimized for the web and named something that matches your article as well if you're interested in the SEO value of metadata in images.

Yes, the gremlins and issues live on in AR land. It is why I only share posts from my WordPress sites.  

Barbara Todaro nailed this one!

good read

Sorry, I don't have a clue.

Apple products are notorious for doing that. Load it inverted and see what happens

No idea.

Sorry, this is above my paygrade.

Jason Nenadov - use the editing software on your laptop or desktop.

I use GIMP2 on PC....

I have a blog on it for a contest. What a pain to go thru ...............

Hummm..a new issue for sure..haven't heard of this one.

My personal experience has been it I took tthe photo on my iphone or ipad and edit on a PC, it will look upright but turn when I load it in ActiveRain. So I save another version on my PC to in an inverted condition and when I upload it on AR it is straight. We learn some of these tricks to overcome AR's blog editor shortfalls.

Gremlins and ghosts in the machine, business as usual at AR. 

I like Fred Griffin's answer.
