Add an image to a post

  • I love WordPress.

    But I have not found an easy way to add images to a post.

    On the wp-admin/post.php page of the admin area, you can write your post and upload images. However, once you have uploaded you image, there seems to be now way to show it on the page other than to write it in HTML and give it an absolute reference.

    Instead, the user should be able to:

    1. Upload the image
    2. Click and drag the image into the post. Or click a button that then inserts the required code for it to be displayed in the post.
    3. Then, you move the image (or the HTML code) to wherever you want it on the page.

    I don’t want to spend 5 minutes adding an image to a post. Do I have to write HTML code for every image I want to display in my post?

    Thanks to anyone that can help.

  • On the write post page there should be a toolbar above the area where you are inputting the text of your post.

    On that toolbar is an image icon. If you position the cursor in the text at the point where you want to insert an image and you then press the image icon a popup window should open and allow you to insert the image details.

    The description above relies on the wysiwyg editor being turned on in the options screen
