  Are image maps supported by wordpress.

  I have a working image map a http://www.clanlyon.org/thca/thcascreenpainter.asp?Page=CC00

  I’ve copied the HTML code and modified the various URLs to point to equivalent wordpress pages and it doesn’t work.

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

  That blog is not hosted here on wordpress.com
  Go to http://wordpress.org/support and ask a question there
  To clear the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org See this

  I’ve since removed the image map from my page as WordPress does not seem to support image maps.

  I also do not appreciate the non-support attitude portrayed by customer support.

  I guess you get what you pay for.

  If by “customer support” you mean this forum and the above reply, then
  a) you’re a user, not a customer,
  b) this is a peer-to-peer support forum, in which you mostly get help from experienced fellow users volunteering,
  c) hnsaifi is not one of them.

  WP does support image maps. If what you tried didn’t work, you can try again so we can see what’s wrong. Or you can paste the code here, between backticks (see below reply field).

  Sorry its my mistake. I thought this was the site you’re asking help for, http://www.clanlyon.org/thca/thcascreenpainter.asp?Page=CC00
  I apologize for it once again.

  @hnsaifi
  Here’s an example of how I would have dealt with this question.
  Question: Are image maps supported by wordpress.

  Use tag search before answering > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/image-maps
  Answer: Yes

  Question continued: I’ve copied the HTML code and modified the various URLs to point to equivalent wordpress pages and it doesn’t work.

  Answer: Please post the code you are using here into a forum comment box between backticks so it will display properly in the forum thread. The backtick is found on the key to the immediate left of the number 1 key. It’s in lower case on the same key as the tilde. ~

  @thca
  Rudeness is a not a virtue. Be aware that you are expected to remain within the bounds of the forum code of conduct at all times just as we all are.

  I’ll remove the modlook tag on this thread because timethief and Panos have so eloquently explained that these forums are here to answer questions in the spirit of helpfulness.

  Rudeness is not useful to any of us.
