3,773 PointsCan someone please help me. My images are not showing up in wordpress. Ive rebuilt the site twice and still nothing.
My links are correct- even with the bare php files. Everything shows in front-page, header and footer except images. Ive deactivated my functions file as well. My html is correct as: src="images/facts1.png"
..as an example and shows in my regular html. My images folder path is in the theme file. What could possibly be wrong? I'm at my wits end but I don't see the point in moving on if I can't even get the images to show up. Where is ZAC!!!

28,149 PointsIf the images path is correct, they'll show up local. So you've uploaded the images in wordpress via it's media uploader, but you're referencing the images using custom html/php and not any sort of built in WP image helper, correct?
Sounds like your image paths might not be correct. Your image paths would definitely change between your regular site, and the wordpress site.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,011 Pointsin wordpress in a template your images needs to have get_template_uri() because the images are actually stored in /.../wp-content/themes/(insert theme name here)/images/

eg.
<img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/image.jpg" />

3,773 PointsIts local. I just inserted the html from a site I already created just regular site into the php and tested it and it all shows and is getting header and footer properly- just no images.. Do the images not show up as a local site?
