Hey, thanks for the reply. I was able to resolve this without a plugin by adding the below line of code in the wp-includes/kses.php file online 483. I know this will be overwritten with wordpress updates, but I'll just put the code back in after every update until I come up with a permanent hack solution. I hope others looking for the same thing will find it handy!
PHP Code:
'img' => array ('alt' => array (), 'align' => array (), 'border' => array (), 'height' => array (), 'hspace' => array (), 'longdesc' => array (), 'vspace' => array (), 'src' => array ()),
