Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Images in widget

Can someone please explain how I can get images, i.e. photos in a widget in a sidebar? If I upload an image to my site and 'grab' its URL, all I get is the actual URL text in the widget and the same thing happens if I grab the URL from my Flickr page. If I grab the HTML from the Flickr page, I get part of the picture (too big to fit in the sidebar) and, on clicking on it, it links to my Flickr page which I don't want. Using another template, I simply grabbed the URL from my Flickr page, uploaded it and got a small version in the sidebar. When someone clicked on it, they got a bigger version but not linked to Flickr. I'll happily make another donation if someone can solve this problem that I've spent hours trying to figure out, given that my knowledge is Basic!
Thanks in advance.

OSX 10.11.5 WP 4.x Atahualpa(all) Safari, Firefox, Chrome
add a text widget and then in the text area use something line this
HTML Code:
<img src="http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mypic.jpg" alt="my alt" title="My title" width="136" height="191" class="size-full wp-image-xxx" />
adjust the height and width to the width of the sidebar.

Thanks for responding. I've put the following in a text widget and got the small cross in a box. What have I done wrong?

<img src="http://www.thursdays-child.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Moth.jpg alt="my alt" title="My title" width="146" height="191" class="size-full wp-image-xxx" />

Thanks
