I’ve been working through Chris’s tutorials on WordPress, as you’ll see from the site http://www.whatkindareyou.com, but I can’t get the img tag to work. In the beginning, I thought it might be the fact that it was an anchor link, but that doesn’t seem to be the case either.
I know it sounds like a complete noob question, and I’ll live with that mantle but I just need other eyes looking at it.
Quote:<img src="/images/benefit_banner.png">That should be the left side bar image. I know that the link should be right, because I can get the image to show up as a background image css, but I can’t get the images to show from the html side.
Thanks in advance everyone.

I’m not sure what it could be but it should have a closing backslash ” and an alt property:
Quote:<img src="/images/benefit_banner.png" alt="benefit banner" />Depends on your DOCTYPE but this might be the cause.
Let me know what you come up with!
Whaleo :)
September 29, 2008 at 7:26 pm #50207BillyMoParticipantWhaleo, thanks for the response. I had an alt tag, but it was the only thing showing up. I’ve put it back in, as you can see… still the only thing you can see.
I don’t know a whole lot about doctype. Shouldn’t that have been covered by wordpress?
September 29, 2008 at 8:29 pm #50199SpunkmeyerMemberI agree with box. When you go to view the image in FF you get a 404 error indicating it can’t be found. You most likely FTP’d the image with a different name. Either that, or take out the opening forward slash in your relative url. ie the url would be "images/benefit_banner.png".
September 29, 2008 at 8:49 pm #50191BillyMoParticipantI saw that too, I’ve been playing with this for days.
Here’s the thing. I tried to remove the slash, no go, but here’s the other thing. If you check the site again, the image is there. It’s set as a background image though in css.
code is this:
Quote:#event-banner {width: 190px; height: 500px; background: url(images/benefit_banner.png) ; border: 1px solid black;}Doesn’t that mean it has to be in the right place?
September 29, 2008 at 11:22 pm #50193BillyMoParticipantThanks, cybershot. That did it. It turns out that I have multiple domains hosted on this server. I didn’t realize that, when I signed up, it would cause that type of confusion otherwise, I’d have made this site the main one.
Take care guys. Thanks so much for all the suggestions.

Code:http://yoururl.com/wp-content/themes/yo … /image.gif.:)
