Image path ?

  • Every time I start one of these projects again after some time away I run into this issue and it’s absolutely maddning.

    I’m working on a new wordpress site and I’m developing it on my laptop. So here’s the setup…
    I’m doing this on my laptop i.e. Windows 8, Apache, MySQL, PHP.

    Site (landing / index page) is located htdocs/MyWebSite/wp-Content/themes/Socates4/index.php

    The image I’m trying to put on a page or in a post is located here…
    htdocs/MyWebSite/wp-Content/themes/Socates4/images

    I’m trying to use a relative path and having “0” success.
    I’ve tried every variation I can think of …
    <img src=”images/myImage.png” alt=”My Picture” height=”150″ width=”960″>

    <img src=”/images/myImage.png” alt=”My Picture” height=”150″ width=”960″>
    <img src=”//images/myImage.png” alt=”My Picture” height=”150″ width=”960″>

    I’m sure it’s got to be the path syntax. I have tried every variation on the path syntax I can think of…
    image/myImage.png
    /image/myImage.png
    //image/myImage.png
    ./image/myImage.png
    /socrates4/image/myImage.png
    /etc. etc…

    I can give my browser this…

    https://localhost/MyWebsite/wp-content/themes/socrates4/images/MyImage.png

    and it puts my image into the browser at its actual size 150 X 960. Just as you would expect. Works fine. It finds and displays the image.

    So what am I missing here? Why can’t I get the image to display from a post ?

    Why can’t I use html <img> tag syntax to display this image?

  • This should work for you:

    <img src="/wp-content/themes/socrates4/images/MyImage.png" alt="My Picture" height="150" width="960">
