  • You can’t link to images on your hard drive. You have to upload them.

    If you’re uploading lots of images, you may want to try the Add From Server plugin which allows you to upload images via FTP and then add them to the Media Library simply by selecting them.

    iv uploaded one of the images within the file manager but still no joy. i may be entering the wrong file path what should this look like?

    it currently looks like this
    /public_html/wp-content/uploads/2009/pokerstars250x250.gif

    should it have somthing before the /public_html/ ?

    Try using Media > Add New from your admin panel, or the “add an image” icon in the Visual Editor, or the “img” icon in HTML editor mode when you create or edit a post. You will get a dialog that will allow you to find the image on your hard drive and upload it to your site.

    If the image is already on the server but not in the Media Library, you can use the Add From Server plugin to add it to the library.

    iv uploaded the image using the media > add new method. now what would the file path be that i know have to add to my sidebar widget so it can find the image (i know i sound thick but i dont have a clue) cheers

    Create a post, add the image from the library, go into HTML editor mode and look at the path. Copy & paste it into your sidebar.

    No problem. I ask my share of questions here, so I try to respond to some when I have the time.
