How to Link an Image

Images can be embedded into pages and posts and each image can link to another webpage or document. If you wish to create a link using an image instead of text, you can do one of the following:

Linking the image to an external page/site

1. Enter your page’s/post’s Edit view or create a new page/post
2. Click on the “Add Media” button found above the editor toolbar
   

3. Next, you can either upload the image from your computer or select it from the Media Library if it’s already there

• From your device:
  1. In the “Add Media” window, under the “Upload Files” tab, click on the “Select Files” button and choose the image you wish to upload from your computer
  2. After the image has been loaded, the tab should expand with attachment details.
     
  3. In the ‘Attachment Display Settings’ section, click on the drop-down menu next to the label ‘Link To‘ and choose ‘Custom URL‘
  4. Enter the destination website or page address in the text field that appears below and press ‘Insert into page‘ button (this will also add the image into the Media Library if you wish to insert the same image into a different page/post)
     
• From Media Library:
  1. In the “Add Media” window, under the “Media Library” tab, browse through all the files (or search using the “Search Media” bar) and click on the desired image
