Widgets allow you to manage homepage, sidebar, & footer content. It’s an easy way to add your latest posts, images, & content. Shown below is how you can add an image with the Image Widget.
- Select Appearance then Widgets from the menu in the dashboard.
- Drag and drop the Image widget bar from the list of available widgets into the home, sidebar or footer section you want it added to.
Open the Image widget by clicking the dropdown arrow.
- Click Add Image to select an image to use. You can select an image from the Media Library or upload a new photo.
- You will likely have a specific size of photo to upload, which should be outlined for you in the dashboard notes under Ideal Image Sizes.
- Add a title if you want one to appear and be sure to add alt text to the image. You can also add a link to the image if you desire.
- Click the blue Save button
* Note: It is possible that widgets are used to make up different parts of your website, rather than just the homepage, sidebar and footer.
