Adding an image to WordPress is straightforward. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard: First, make sure you’re logged into your WordPress site.
2. Navigate to the Post or Page: Decide where you want your image to appear. This can be in a new or existing post/page. Click on “”Posts”” or “”Pages”” from the dashboard menu, then either “”Add New”” or edit an existing one.
3. Inserting the Image:
- Click on the “Add Block” button (the plus icon) within the WordPress editor.
- Choose the “Image” block from the options.
- Now, you have two choices:
- Upload: Upload a new image from your computer.
- Media Library: Choose an existing image from your WordPress media library.
4. Select or Upload Image: If uploading, click “Upload,” locate the file on your computer, and click “Open.” If choosing from the media library, select the image you want to use, and click “Insert.”
5. Adjust the Image: Once the image is in your post/page, you can adjust its alignment, add a caption, and change its size from the image toolbar options.
6. Publish or Update Your Content: Finally, when you’re satisfied with how everything looks, click “Publish” (for a new post/page) or “Update” (for an existing post/page) to make the changes live.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully added an image to your WordPress site.
