I changed my wordpress template today and using the free arthemia template,however i am having a few issues and cant figure this out.
I do not know html,but i just followed instructions.
Here is my problem when i add a post i would like to add a picture that would show up ,especially if it is a featured post i would like to add a picture to it.i done this by creating a custom field image and for the value field i inserted the URL from the wordpress content upload gallery .
Eg:http://www.abcd.com/wp-content/uploa...0/08/image.jpg


Also can you tell me how do i find the category number in wordpress ?

Thanks looking forward to some help to fix this .

  • There are two steps to adding a custom field image into a post.

    the first one, as you seem to have done properly, is to create a new custom field, name it with a very specific name and then give it a value which is the url to the image you want to display.

    But then the second step is to include a piece of code somewhere in your theme that will tell wordpress when and where to display that custom field. You need to put that piece of code somewhere in your templates php files.

    There is a plugin that can make this work a little easier

    If I come back later and see you are still struggling I will make a video for you to show you how to edit the theme and use the plugin I just mentioned.
  • Elementel thanks,but i am not sure where do i add the code that in the functions.php file
  • Are you just trying to add an image to one of your posts? Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

    Just needing to use the img src html code?
  • I gave you an answer in the thread in the programming section (saw that one before this one) - let me know if that works for you.
  • Thanks mrmagos,it looks like its working now.
