   I am currently still on a local installation and have not been able to link to an image directly using <img src=""> inside a page.

   To keep true photo images and site design stuff separate, I created a folder /res (short for resources) in the root of the theme (thus on the same level as /images)

   I can link to these files in /res fine through CSS.

   On a few pages I wish to insert an accent icon or bullet from /res into the text and can't seem to get the path right ... or end up with php code not executing.

   a) manual method, relative path, no image shown

   <img src="/res/gif/bullet_info_sq.gif" alt="" />
   and
   <img src="res/gif/bullet_info_sq.gif" alt="" />

   b) php method, no image shown

   <img src="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/images/audio.jpg">
   ends up as
   <img src="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/images/audio.jpg”>
   in the output html.
   
   that last part being: /audio.jpg & # 8 2 2 1 ; >
   without spaces.

   How can I make sure the php bloginfo works properly?

   Could this not functioning be related other php code in page.php.
   I do have an if else routine to eliminate the sidebar on some pages and to switch class=narrowcolumn to class=onecolumn.

   WordPress 2.7. Kubrick. CSS modified.

   Highly appreciate your help and insight.

   PHP won't work in your posts without a plugin, IIRC.

   As for example a... What's the absolute path to your image? http://fobar.com/res/gif/bullet_info_sq.gif? If so, that first example should work. If not, try putting in the full path in your image link.

   thanks lpstenu,

   Right now I am still on the local machine via http://localhost:8888/wordpress/

   Using that, I am (finally) getting a result via:
   

   <img src="http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default mod to wphm/images/audio.jpg" alt="" />

   While I understand that absolute paths are ideal; I am still hoping to "automate" that home path, so I would not have to redo everything when the site goes live.
