hey everyone – i found out how to make it work.
You’re going to have to manually upload the file to your FTP or any server, whether it be an image hosting service if you dont have your own webhost, etc. Once you do that, go into add a new post or edit your existing post.
at the bottom of the post (under typebased custom settings), in the field above where it asks you to choose file, etc., you’re going to put the address of your image and then click SAVE and it works perfectly.
So, basically, you put your full address: https://www.yourdomain.com/images/imagename.jpg or whatever your path is.
