Title: Add/Import Image… Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Add/Import Image… * Resolved [renohelper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renohelper/) * (@renohelper) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/addimport-image/) * I understand how to add images to posts, but I am using a custom (premium WP) template, and the home page is a static page. How do I add/improt images? I look all over the manage links, I see one for improt, but it is not for images.

That is NOT what I want. I want to upload an image on the footer of my static home page. I don’t have an “add media” button on my mangage links, I have an “ add media on the writeing posts, but I don’t want this for a post. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/addimport-image/#post-869175) * 1. Pages and posts are created and edited in the same way. 2. This is the first time that you mentioned the footer. Next time make sure that you describe clearly in your very first post what do you want. 3. You ant to edit a template file. Well, you edit them as any normal HTML file and use the proper html tags to show an image. If it is the footer – most likely you need to edit the footer.php file in your theme folder. * Thread Starter [renohelper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renohelper/) * (@renohelper) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/addimport-image/#post-869184) * Yes, I contacted the support forum for the theme creater. I thought that WordPress had a simple import image button or link (other than the one for the posts/pages). But they apparently do not. So what I was looking for could not be found. But what I had to do was edit the CSS/HTML code on the Footer.php file. I had to enter the image path. * For the benefit of others who may have this problem in the future here is what I did: Go into theme editor (or the CSS) go into the footer.php file, find the location you want the image to go into and type in the image path. * It would seem that since WordPress says anyone can use the blogs and that you don’t need to know CSS or HTML that you should just be able to upload image files and cut and paste them where you want them (like you can on the post/pages section). But I guess right now that don’t have this feature. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/addimport-image/#post-869186) * You are completely wrong! You don’t need any html or css for blogging or to include images int o your post and Pages. * What you were trying to do: **modifying a theme’s template file** for changing the layout, look, design – and for that YES, you need advanced (X)HTML and CSS knowledge. * But the two things – blogging and modifying a website’s design – have nothing to do with each other. * Thread Starter [renohelper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renohelper/) * (@renohelper) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/addimport-image/#post-869188) * No, I shouldn’t have to modify a themes template file just to insert an image in the footer. I should just have to upload and paste, just like the option given for the post/page. * [thisisedie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thisisedie/) * (@thisisedie) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/addimport-image/#post-869190) * > Go into theme editor (or the CSS) * THAT doesn’t make sense. The theme editor is not “the CSS”. * > No, I shouldn’t have to modify a themes template file just to insert an image > in the footer * YES you should. If you don’t want to have to manually modify a theme find one that does what you want without having to.
