    I am developing a WP theme and it will include some pre-made pages. I would like those that purchase my theme to be able to just cut and paste the pre-made pages into their wp install no matter what domain they install the theme on. These pages and posts will have images in them.
    I have done some research and found that get_bloginfo( ) doesn’t work on posts and pages. I am hoping to find an alternative to this.

    Say someone buys my theme, they will upload the theme to their wp install and install the theme.
    They will then take a pre-coded page content like…

    <td valign="top" width="260" height="254"><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-38 aligncenter" title="ecover1" src="http://localhost/WP/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ecover11.png" alt="" width="300" height="369" /></strong></td>
<td valign="middle" width="420" height="254">
<h3 style="text-align: left;" align="center">Here's How You Can Get Tens Of Thousands Of Visitors That Want To Buy Your Product Without Spending A Cent On Advertising!</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;" align="left">Have you been spending loads of money trying to get pay per click advertising to pay off?</h4>

    As you can see the image will be called from my original local host. I am hoping to find a code snippet that will allow me to place all the images from each pre-made page content in the theme directory image folder and call the images to display in posts and pages.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this.

    To call the images from your template folder you should use bloginfo(‘template_directory’), like this:

    <img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/pic.jpg" alt="">

    This way, no matter where your template is hosted, it will always look for the images inside your theme folder.

    Thanks for the input. However if you read my original post you will find that using that doesn’t work on posts or pages.
    That is why i am looking for an alternative to the code you posted.
