Trouble with theme images

When I loaded wordpress on my server, I dumped the contents of the wordpress folder onto the public_html folder. I’ve had no issues except with a custom template that I’m working on. Now I’m having trouble with image paths. I have tried <?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?> and
<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?> and also just the short path (images/donate.jpg) and NOTHING works. I even deleted the entire path then checked it in Firefox and It automatically fills in the path INCLUDING the /wordpress/ folder which does not exist. Yes, I’ve cleared the cache too. what on earth is filling in this path and what am I doing wrong?
