Sidebar/Footer Images on posts

So this is added in the widget (once to cover the sidebar through out the whole site) and the image link on the page is correct and displays, however on the posts, it adds the category to the link and the image doesn’t work.

Any ideas how I fix this ??

absolute and relative links .

So the theme or worpdress changes the long domain (absolute?) to a short one (relative?) . And for most of the site , ie the top level pages this works fine, however when it does this for the podcast categorised posts it doesn’t make the correct relative link??

Hi robbwallace. Welcome to the Hueman forum.

The image embedded in your 14-hemp podcast is using an absolute path:

<img class="alignnone wp-image-272 size-full" src="https://www.everythingsanillusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Hemp_Infographic_web.jpg" alt="Hemp_Infographic_web" width="525" height="675">

The images in the sidebar and footer are using relative paths:

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-261" src="../wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Itunes.jpg" alt="Listen to Everything's An Illuion podcast on Itunes" width="500" height="87">

The relative path “..” says “go up one level from here” to locate the path. On the main pages, “up one level” is “www.everythingsanillusion.com”. Since “/wp-content” is a subdirectory of the root site directory, the full path is valid and it finds the image. On the podcast post pages, “up one level” is “www.everythingsanillusion.com/podcast”. Since there is no “/wp-content” subdirectory on that path, the image is not found.

Not sure how you added your images to the sidebar and footer widgets but changing the src to use absolute path statements should fix it. If you’re interested, there are many threads and articles that discuss absolute vs relative paths.

Thanks , I used a text editor widget to place html in the sidebar.

The text widget was changing the path, just re wrote the html and all looks good. Thanks for your expertise and time , much appreciated:)
