  • It is exactly as you said: basic HTML – adding a link around an image.
    1. get the image displayed with the proper img src tag – pay special attention to the correct path!
    2. put the anchor tags around it.

    ive got a counter (link to an image on another site)
    so ive added this to my side bar, works fine on the front page, but on every other page it just displays the alternative text for the image and not the image, when i go back to the main page it displays fine. any ideas?

    ive tried the following:

    <img border=”0″ alt=”counter” src=”https://mycounter.tinycounter.com/index.php?user=thebauer”&gt;

    and then:

    <img border=”0″ alt=”counter” src=”https://mycounter.tinycounter.com/index.php?user=thebauer”&gt;

    (the anchor tags)

    edit: the anchor tags arnt show but there included.

    Next time read the instructions below the text input area: put your code between ` – one at the beginning and one at the end.

    <img border="0" alt="counter" src="https://mycounter.tinycounter.com/index.php?user=thebauer">

    thats my counter image location, so what code do i need to put to view that on every page, like i said it shows on first page then every other page it shows the “alt”

    ive tried 5 times to get the code tag working but it doesnt seem to work? i must be doing something wrong, either way thats the code there.

    here is the code I have created:
    <img srs=”https://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:aiIOWyEARc8DtM:https://www.designboom.com/history/cart/4.jpg&#8221; width=”83″ height=”109″ border=”0″ alt=”Click for Store”>

    the clickable link works where I want it and in the size I specified, But, I don’t have the info on how th get the correct image path whether from my local hard drive or from a URL

    1. Learn to post code if you want help. (see my post above)
    2. Do you think your local hard drive is available for everybody around the world?

    i am no dummy and do not like being treated like one. i am just searching for some imformation. howerver, i do appreciate you taking the time time post. i just want to know how to do this. Is my code incorrect? Can I pull images that i have uploaded to my wp-public html/wp-content/themes/uploads/xxx folder? Thanks for specifiic help.

    I wanted to help you but could not read your code because you were not able to hit the “backtick” key (where the ~ is) twice: once before your code and once after it.
    So, now why are you complaining?

    <a href="https://www.store.israeltalking.com/index.php?link=1"><img srs="https://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:aiIOWyEARc8DtM:https://www.designboom.com/history/cart/4.jpg" width="83" height="109" border="0" alt="Click for Store"></a>

    how is that now

    Now it looks OK, because it is not rendered ??
    ===========

    The code is correct.
    The method of obtaining the image is not correct. At least for two reasons:
    – it is stolen from another site
    – it is stealing bandwith by being called from the original site

    If you think it is in public domain, download the picture and put it on your own host. It is very rude to link to pictures on other people’s website… You might end up with nasty surprizes ??

    Edit. oops, samboll is right! src=

    <img srs=
    I hope that’s just a typo. Should be:
    <img src=
    Other than that it looks like code should work.
