I am having trouble creating a linked image in the text widget in the sidebar. I have been using

<a href=”http://www.lolafayemi.com” title=”test”><img src=“http://www.alignedandthriving.com/images/healthy_sandwich.jpg” alt=”test” /></a>

and getting no image come up and a dodgy link of http://www.alignedandthriving.com/”http://www.lolafayemi.com”.

Can anyone tell me how to get the image to show up and how to get the link going to the right place. The site is at http://www.alignedandthriving.com and it’s the right sidebar.

Thanks

Hi

Shane G – that didn’t work all it showed up was the url in the sidebar 🙁

Gangleri – yes I am pasting from Word, does that matter? If yes where should I paste from?

Sorted! For anyone else with the same problem use:

<a href="linkurl"><img src="imageurl" />

Thanks for your help Shane G.

I’ve been trying to figure out the same problem. But as a total noob, I don’t even know what “imageurl” should actually say. Is it “http://www.mydomain.com//public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/imagename.gif” ??

(If so, it’s not working…)

Thanks!

Showgirl: don’t forget to add the closing link tag </a>

<a href="linkurl"><img src="imageurl" /></a>

@boldizar

Yes, it is correct. The images URL should be the actual link of the image. You can use it like this:

< a href=”linkURL”><img src=”ImageURL”>

Please make sure to use all tags carefully.

And delete the space between < and a

Showgirl,

Did you get it figured out? I get the same results as you. If you did figure it out, I would really appreciate the code. Thanks.
