Most of the questions are from our support ticket asked by our customers. Today’s question is “How do I Insert Images in a WordPress Blog Using HTML Code?“. So we will be diving into a simple method on how to insert images in a WordPress blog using HTML code.

You will probably want to insert an image into your WordPress blog, whether it is within the body of a post or page, in the sidebar by using a widget or via Theme Option in order to display an advertisement banner/image.

Now, let’s go ahead and take a look at how to insert images in a WordPress blog using HTML code.

1. Upload Image

2. Click the image

Click the image you’ve uploaded

4. Use image

Use below code and paste url in below code and you can use this html code to insert image anywhere.

<img src="Paste your URL here" alt="Image File Name"/>

alt=”Image File Name” — The alt tag is part of the HTML markup and provides a description for the image that search engines will pick up and recognize as keywords.

The alt tag description will also display as text on a browser that cannot, for some reason, load the image file; for example, if the server load time is slow, or if the user is using a screen reader with images turned off, the text description will load first to at least provide visitors with a description of what the image is.

5. Image as a Link

To use an image as a link, put the <img> tag inside the <a> tag:

<a href="https://anthemes.com/">
   <img src="https://anthemes.com/my-image-link-here.jpg" alt="Image File Name"/>
</a>
