There are two ways which you can add images to your WordPress sidebar.

The first and most easiest way to display your image on the sidebar is through a link to an external image source. To do this, you have to firstly add a text widget and then put the link (e.g. http://www. mysite.com/images/pic1) onto the text widget.

The second method is to import an image into your site’s image folder and put a link on your WordPress sidebar to assess the image file.

To do this, the easiest way to add an image to your WordPress sidebar is to firstly add the image to the wordpress post using the following steps:.

STEP 1: Use the “Add media” function (see screenshot below) on the Write Post screen to add the image.

Once the image is added, , wordpress will automatically generate the necessary html codes. You can view the html codes by switching from Visual to HTML mode (by clicking the HTML tab). See screenshot below:

Copy the relevant html codes into the clipboard

STEP 2: Insert a “Text” widget into your sidebar

STEP 3: Paste the relevant html codes into the “Text widget and save your changes.

Click the “View Site” button and you should see the image that you have inserted on the sidebar.
