Needing website help

Posted on 08/31/2022 9:06:23 PM PDT by ConservativeMan55

Hello!

I am working on building a new website.

Nwablitz.com

I have been using WordPress. I do have a question regarding Cpanel.

I have uploaded some images and am trying to source to those images but am having trouble finding the path.

Can anyone help??

Thanks!!!

I use Lycos for my web site. So I don’t understand WordPress. Keep up the good work.

I think Gunner knows all about these things.

I don't know about WordPress in particular. But in general, if you are able to view an image that you uploaded (using the WP interface), you may be able to use your browser to "View Image in New Tab" or similar right-click function, and then look at the address bar for the URL of the image. That URL would be what you use in the < img src="URL" > link.

Wow. Lycos? You must have had your site for many years. Here I thought my wife was the last one to have a Lycos e-mail account.

Normally you do everything inside of Wordpress. You shouldn't need to get into CPanel at all for this.

From your Dashboard, select Add New under the Media heading. This will lead you through uploading your images and give you the links to them.

Hope this helps.

I’m up in Bentonville if you want help.

I know a few web developers in the area.

Indeed he does. All things bloggy. Many things non-bloggy, too.

But mostly bloggy things.

Locate the image in the Media library and click on it. A page will come up with the image’s information.

But, if you are working with WordPress, you shouldn’t need to know the image’s file path. You click to insert media from within the WordPress editor and WordPress takes care of the details.

Maybe I can help you with your website. How much money do you have?

Yes, images get uploaded within wp-admin?media/add new. Don’t need a path if you’re adding an image to a post. If you’re wanting the path for other reasons, go to media library, click image and the url will be on the right.

Wordpress keep images in wp-content/uploads and usually creates folders for year/month so it would be https://mywebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/myimage.jpg

I think part of the confusion is I’m not sure if I’m in WordPress or godaddy

In the dashboard there’s a menu that says edit website, my photos, my business, and create social media post.
