Images in sidebar?

    The theme I’m using has two sidebars. I’d like to be able to post a couple of images (JPEGs and GIFs) here but can only find the ‘Text’ widget. This allows html. Do I have to link to an image on another site, or is there a widget somewhere that allows direct insertion of images?

    I’ve uploaded a JPEG using the media module but can’t see a way of using this image in the sidebar.

    All help appreciated!

    you can’t use the text widget to insert the html to call an image? why not?

    Well, I’m new to this so didn’t even know if that was possible. Now I know it is I’ll try again.

    It’s not working for me. What do I need to do to call an image with HTML?

    The code I’m using is: https://www.entranceyourlife.co.uk/index_files/page0_1.jpg

    That does nothing. If I put <> around it I see the code, not the image. The image is showing on the original webpage.

    I know this is just a question of me know understanding how WP does this, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong. A little help getting started is all I’m asking for.

    To add an image in html using the text widget, use the following code:

    <img src="https://www.entranceyourlife.co.uk/index_files/page0_1.jpg" alt="Your Alt Text Here">

    If you wish to have the image link to something – add an html link around the image – like this:

    <a href="https://link.to.your.destination.here.com">
<img src="https://www.entranceyourlife.co.uk/index_files/page0_1.jpg" alt="Your Alt Text Here">
</a>

    Hope that helps.

    That’s great thank you mrlich!

    I’ve tried this and my images show up in the Chrome browser but not IE8.
