Inserting An Image Within Text

  • Is there a way to upload and insert an image in between paragraphs?
    When I try to upload and insert an image in between paragraphs, I will position the mouse cursor in the precise area of the text where I want the image to appear. When I upload the image and insert it into the post, it places the image code right before the beginning of the text on the very top of the page.

    In order for me to place the image in the desired area, I must cut and paste the image code where I originally had hoped it would appear.
    Is this a bug, or is this how the images are supposed to upload?

    Thanks for any help I can get on this!

  • In the image upload screen “Add an Image” – “Add media files from your computer” there is a section near the bottom titled “Alignment” with radio selection buttons for None, Left, Center, Right.

    In your case select Center and then be sure to click on the Insert into Post button.

    If you still have problems switch to the HTML view and do it this way assuming that you’ve used the WP image uploader.

<img class="aligncenter size-full" title="Your Title" src="https://your-website-name.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/your-image-name.jpg" alt="Your Title" width="XXX" height="XXX" />

    It’s important sometimes to force WP to recognize paragraphs by using the <p>….</p> code.

    If your image is on your server already you don’t need to use WP’s image uploader, I normally do not. Instead I insert the code manually to give me precise control.

    <div style="text-align: center"><img src="https://your_website.com/your_images-subdirectory/image-filename.jpg" border="0" width="XXX" height="XXX" alt="Image Title" /></div>
