  I just set up a new blog and uploaded a image to the media gallery. I went into media, clicked on the image then on edit. That’s where I am having a problem. When I right click on the url the drop down box shows it is grayed out. CTRL C doesn’t work either.
  So my question is how do I copy the url of the image I have in my gallery so I can add it to the image widget?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I just tested copying an image URL from the image details page using Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7, and it worked for me in my test. The box being gray shouldn’t matter in this case.

  Can you try double or triple clicking on the URL so it’s highlighted before you click Ctrl + C and let me know if that fixes the problem?

  I switched to a different theme and the copy and paste function is working fine now.

  Thank you.

  When I right click on the url the drop down box shows it is grayed out.

  The background of the image URL at Edit Media (Image Gallery tool) is gray with Koi theme as well. That doesn’t prevent you from copying it. Just right click, select all (or drag pointer across entire URL to highlight), copy.

  The theme shouldn’t make a difference.

  Glad to hear it’s working now though!
