Create a clickable image in the Sidebar

by konakiko on September 17, 2009

This technique lets WordPress create the necessary  code by ‘adding’ an image to a post. Then copy the created code and insert it into a text widget.

Voila! and no HTML on your hands…

Followed the steps exactly. Didn’t work. Wordpress 2.8.5 with thesis 1.5.1. Any idea why it wouldn’t work? Trying to place into column 2 below a few other widgets. I have verified that the image uploaded and the url leads to the image.

Just found that for the second time the code disappears from the Text widget. I save it repeatedly but it disappears.

Thanks for this tip. It was exactly what I was looking for. I search 8 other sites before I found your post. I’m definitely going to check out the rest of your site!

Very Slick! So simple and yet very powerful for those of us who don’t like to code.
You saved me from having to troll the web looking for an answer.

Thanks!!
