Unable to embed image

  • I have issues embedding the image in WordPress page. I click “Add Media”. I copy the image URL from the ThingLink website to the “Insert From URL” window. When I click Insert I only get a hyperlink when I preview the page. The image does not get embedded. Any suggestions?

  • The “Insert from URL” functionality within WordPress only works with a URL that points directly to an image or video (eg. the URL ends with .jpg, .gif, or .png.) This allows you to pull an image from a website, instead of having to upload the image onto your own server.

    The link from the Thinglink webpage ends in numbers, like this: https://www.thinglink.com/scene/641829137178165248. If you are trying to put a thinglink on a page, from the thinglink site, grab the embed code under the Share option, and you can embed the Thinglink by putting that embed code under “Text” in the Post or Page editor.

    This plugin allows you to use the ThingLink editor to tag photos directly on your blog (uploaded from the Add Media button BEFORE you’ve added tags through ThingLink. If you have already created the ThingLink, your only option would be to embed the item.

    Thanks mrjarbenne for explaining the difference. I did create the image in Thinglink first and that’s why the “Insert from URL” didn’t work. My image now works! Thanks!
