hello,

I was wondering if there is any way to insert an image with a link (banner) to a wordpress theme? I keep reding that it’s banned, but there must be a way, otherwise i am very disappointed.

thanks,
m

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

You would need to use standard HTML to do it. For example:

<A HREF="URL HERE"><IMG SRC="IMAGE URL HERE"></A>

yes, that’s what i did, thank you for the reply!

the thing is, i had to make a gif instead of a little animation i made and uploaded on my server via google web designer, and that seems impossible to work on wordpress :/

That shouldn’t be a problem. What is the URL of the gif?

i managed to upload the gif and it works on my blog in a post, but i tried to hand it over to another wordpress site and they cant upload it, it just shows code. could it be that they are trying to add it to a gallery within a post or something? this is the code

img src=”https://pearlstravel.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/pearl_banner_gif.gif”

Just to be clear, are they using it with the brackets like this:

<img src="https://pearlstravel.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/pearl_banner_gif.gif">

Hmmmm, there must be something wrong with what they are doing. I made a test post and was able to see the gif just fine:

Are they pasting that code in the “visual” or “html” view of the editor? It needs to be done in the html view.
