This means that you can add them to the theme sidebar or footer and they will appear on all pages and articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two ways to add an image: you can use the\u00a0Text Widget or install an additional plugin with the same functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"text-widget\"><\/span>Text Widget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this Widget you can add plain text or HTML code on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To&nbsp;add an image to your website&nbsp;by using the Text Widget, you will need to use&nbsp;HTML code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/myimage.png\" \/&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>\/wp-content\/uploads\/myimage.png<\/strong><\/em> &#8211; Here you must specify the exact path to the image. You first need to upload it on the website where you can see its path in Files &#8211; &gt; Library &#8211; &gt; Edit &#8211; &gt; URL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can add CSS to center or resize the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/myimage.png\" \/&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">style=&#8221;<strong>max-width:100%<\/strong>;&#8221; &#8211; This CSS property defines the maximum image size which is adjusted to fit the image container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want\u00a0to link the image\u00a0to an URL address, put the img tag inside a href tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;a class=\"helplinkext\" href=\"http:\/\/mysiteurl.com\/url.html\"&gt;\n&lt;img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/myimage.png\" \/&gt;\n&lt;\/a&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>mysiteurl.com\/url.html<\/strong> <\/em>&#8211; URL which will load when someone clicks on the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"image-widget\"><\/span>Image Widget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may look for a plugin that provides the same functionality. Such plugin is the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/image-widget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Image Widget<\/a>. After you install and activate this plugin, the Image Widget will be available under Appearance -> Widgets menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place the widget in the website section where you want the image to be displayed (e.g. sidebar area). You can select an image from the Media Library or upload a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The image settings enable you not only to link the image to a specific URL address that will be loaded when it&#8217;s clicked, but also to specify whether the URL will be opened in a new or the same window and to add image size, alignment and title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are two ways to add an image: you can use the\u00a0Image Widget or install an additional plugin with the same functionality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"no","footnotes":""},"ht-kb-category":[189],"ht-kb-tag":[],"class_list":["post-5622","ht_kb","type-ht_kb","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","ht_kb_category-wordpress"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"There are two ways to add an image: you can use the Image Widget or install an additional plugin with the same functionality.\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"SuperHosting.BG\"\/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/help.superhosting.bg\/en\/wordpress-image-widget.html\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO (AIOSEO) 4.9.10\" \/>\n\n\t\t<link rel=\"shortcut icon\" href=\"https:\/\/help.superhosting.bg\/favicon.ico\" type=\"image\/x-icon\">\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"KnowledgeBase | Extensive help information about the services offered by SuperHosting.BG - hosting, domains, and other topics such as WordPress, website creation, caching ...\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"WordPress \u2013 Image &amp;
