Everytime I put a link in an image to point towards something, it will cause the image to not display at all on my page. This was working great up until about 4 months ago. Any suggestions?

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

Hi,
The destination URL of an image link should have no effect upon whether the image displays. I think some other factor may be the cause of the result you’re encountering. Could you provide an example?

From the Vault: Angels more spoilers

the images show, but i put an image after the iona card with a link and it won’t show up when i publish

in the final HTML source it shows:

img class=”alignnone wp-image-7713 size-full” src=”https://carteblanchehobbies.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/avacyn-ftv.png?w=660″ alt=”avacyn ftv” /> <img class=”alignnone wp-image-7714 size-full” src=”https://carteblanchehobbies.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/iona-ftv.png?w=660″ alt=”iona ftv” /> <img class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-7726″ src=”https://carteblanchehobbies.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/baneslayer.jpg?w=660″ alt=”baneslayer” />

So it won’t href it or even display it at all.

href is supposed to point here:

A basic image with an image link should have the following form:

<a href="Destination URL"><img class="alignright wp-image-89289" title="Image title" src="Image URL" alt="" width="numerical value" height="numerical value" />

I’m not sure how you obtained the “final HTML source” code that you provide above. What’s the href code for the image, with and without the desired destination URL? This information should reveal the error.

Here’s that basic code again without the strong tag, which didn’t work here:

<a href="Destination URL"><img class="alignright wp-image-89289" title="Image title" src="Image URL" alt="" width="numerical value" height="numerical value" />

i obtained the code by loading the page and going to view source…

also, i’m just adding an image and clicking on it with the link icon to have it link to a page…I did that for over 2 years before on the same blog and it worked fine, something changed

I understand your frustration. However, I created an image link just as you described

i’m just adding an image and clicking on it with the link icon

moments after I read your first post here. The method is producing an image link for me the same as ever.

I suspect that you may be inadvertently doing something different to obtain the error, but perhaps not. You may add a “modlook” tag to the sidebar of this topic to call for staff attention if you like.

Hi carteblanchehobbies,

I have taken a look at the page you posted. It appears your images currently do not have a “link to” location set. To link an image to a location make sure to select a link to location and enter the URL of the destination site there. Here are some screenshots:

You may get to that screen by clicking the image then clicking the pencil edit icon that appears above the image.

You may also click the image then link the chain/link icon in the toolbar and enter your image location there.

Hi carteblanchehobbies,

Could you clarify what you mean when you say “not working anymore” if possible please outline the exact steps in a list that you take. It would also be helpful to have you link an image and leave it for us to take a look at.

I have done some testing and can’t replicate the results you have described but would love to get the bottom of this for you. However, we’ll need more details to do that.

sorry for the inconvenience, it’s just that this was in the css code:

a img {
display: none;
}
as well as another mouseover code.
I was using hover images for the month of january-march and i never deleted that code or found out how to only apply it for those pages.

Ah that makes sense, glad you’re all set now.
