Jason Moss:

Hey Jason Moss here. And today I’m going to show you how to upload images to your WordPress website. Very, very simple stuff. So the first thing you want to do is once you’re logged into your WordPress website, you’re going to most likely be on this dashboard page. Okay? Now you’re going to head over to the media section. All right? You can click on media, or you can click on add new right from here. Let’s just click on media though, and you’ll see on this WordPress installation, there is no media files found. Okay? So you can click on add new. All right? And you can start uploading. You can upload a an image. If you want a PDF, you can even do a video file. It’s, it’s really up to you on what you want on your website. So I’m gonna upload an image.

Jason Moss:

Okay. And let me just find one really quick. All right? And there is the image that I uploaded that is my logo for my agency. So from right here, we can click on the image. You can see that this is a transparent P and G. All right, so you can see that has that clear background. You can edit the title, the caption description you know, even the all text. So you can do a lot of things right there. You can delete it if you like. All right, if you click on edit image, you don’t really get that many edit options. I don’t really ever use this in here. I always use an outside editing you know, program because you can’t really do a whole lot in here. Okay? So let’s just X out of that. But that’s how easy it is.

Jason Moss:

You just upload a straight to your WordPress and then we can put this inside of a, a post. So, or page of course, or anywhere else on the website. But just for an example, if you, let’s go to post here and let’s just play around. All right, so this is just a, one of those test posts that had been playing around with and we have Devi installed on this website, but we haven’t really, I’m not gonna use the builder here. I’m just going to show you how this works without the builder. So you can add media and then you can click on your image. All right. And over on the right hand side, a lot of times it’ll be like on thumbnail or medium, I always pick the highest resolution and then I scaled down and I’ll show you what I mean by that in a second. And you can adjust the alignment here, but you can do that on the next page also. And then you can add a link to it if you want that picture to link over to like your website or a download file, something like that. You have those options and you can do it in different areas as well. So we’ll insert into post and there we have it. This is the five, 12 by five 12. So it’s still the largest you know,

Jason Moss:

Image that, you know, it had those three different options, the thumbnail, the meeting and I think it was, and then this is the full size. So this is the full size. And the reason I do that is you can scale it now. Okay. And that doesn’t lose your resolution. Now it is the higher size file. So you want to be careful with that. Of course. All right. But now that this is in your post you can, you know, type stuff like, Hey everybody, and then we can adjust the alignment of it. Okay? So we can make it move around. All right? And

Jason Moss:

It’s easy as that. Like if we wanted this to be the title of like the post or something, make that the age one hit, enter there. Actually, let’s put this towards the end. Okay. And then we can do that, center it, and then we’ll preview that post. And there we go. All right? So it’s easy as that putting it right there inside of a post or page, whatever you might be doing with it. But like I said, you can a, you can upload images, PDFs, video files that’s really up to you. And then you can link to them. You can display them on the website, make play the videos. Of course, you really have all those different options at your disposal. But if you have questions or comments, leave them below. I’m happy to answer and help out anybody, but I’ll see you in the next video. Thanks guys.
