   Hello. I am thinking this is a WAMP issue.

   I'm working with WordPress on WAMP on a PC. Everything is working great except that I am unable to successfully show a foreground image. I thought for a while I was making some error in writing the HTML, but that's not it. I tested my HTML code:
   <img src="image.jpg">
   on a non-WAMP, non-Wordpress site, and the image appeared.
   I even tried absolute paths instead of relative, and that didn't work either.

   Background images are showing up fine. But sometimes, you just need a foreground image.

   For example, on page.php, my design is just fine. But then I try to insert <img src="1.gif"/>. Nothing. I'm using Dreamweaver so I know it's cited correctly. (The image is on the same level as my page.)

   I am hoping that when I actually make the site live, the images will show up. I have never actually activated a live WP site, though, so just doing so really quick is not an option as it will take a while and I'd like to get it right first!

   Thanks in advance for any replies.

   You must use absolute urls for images in WordPress.

   Thanks, Esmi. You got me on the right track.
   I needed to be using:
   <img src="http://localhost/site/wp-content/themes/themename/images/image.jpg"/>
   I'm back in business!!
