Can’t find upload button under manage tab
-
I am trying to add an image to my sidebar…but since the blog has changed your instructions on how to do it under FAQ don’t jive with the new setup you have. How do I upload an image? The only thing I see is the header upload and I don’t need to do that. Can you help me? Thanks-Bob http://www.shiftnow.wordpress.com

you upload through the ‘write’ section in dashboard as before. look for the ‘add media’ bit at the editor.

Sulz…thanks for the quick reply…but I have to go into write even though I am just adding an image to the sidebar?

I have the image uploaded…but according to the instructions in FAQ I am supposed to got to the manage tab and click on uploads…no uploads tab exist anymore. I haven’t a clue on how to get this image to my sidebar.

yes. you don’t have to write a post to upload the image. to get the url, go to dashboard -> manage -> media gallery. you should also be able to get the url immediately after uploading. the faq is outdated ‘cos it was referring to the old dashboard. :)

I ran into the same problem, though I did ultimately get the image into my sidebar widget. I’m a newbie myself, so this feels a bit like the blind leading the blind, but here goes:
Once the image is uploaded, copy the URL of the image. Open up a text widget (even if all you want to do is display an image). Then you have to insert the image by using code:
<img
src=”http://URL of the image.jpg”When you copy the URL, remember not to accidentally duplicate the http://prefix or the .jpg suffix.
If you want to add text under the image – a caption or credit, perhaps? – just begin the text under the image code.
If that works, I can also tell you how to center the sidebar. I will also be amazed and delighted! (-:
