  • you are using square brackets….. html doesn’t do that, is it intentional?

    <div align="center"><a href="https://www.malindaj.com/blog" target="_blank"><img src="https://malindaj.com/blog/?attachment_id=701"></a></div>

    Oh thank you!!!! I just found this tutorial on how to do it and that is the syntax they used and it seemed to work for everyone else. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    square brackets in WP indicate shortcodes

    [shortcode]text[/shortcode]

    or just

    [shortcode]

    They have to be defined by your theme or plugin to be able to be used. Without being defnied somewhere, they don’t exist. Also, for forums, square brackets indicate bb code, specialized tags allowed by some forum software.

    In the WP world, shortcodes are only used in pages/posts.

    In actual code, inside templates, or in sidebar widgets, code uses < and > type brackets.
