Adding photos, videos and music to your posts is an easy task with
WordPress. Let's open the post you've created in our tutorial on how to create a WordPress post. Click on the text where you want to add the content and click on the Add Media button in the top left part of the editor. The WordPress Insert Media pop-up will appear. Click on the Select files button in the middle of the screen. Once
pick the local file, WordPress will upload it and refresh the page
depending on the file format. For the purpose of this tutorial we will
add an image to the post. For images there are two things you should
take care of. First, describe the image itself - enter its Alt tag,
title for the link and optionally a caption. The caption will appear
under the actual image on your front end. Once you do that, you need to specify the attachment settings of the image:
Alignment - How to align the image in your content. It depends on your actual theme how alignments will work on your site.
Link To
- Select where to link the image to - the full size image file, the
media page automatically created for each new attachment, custom URL or
simply not to link it.
Size - When you upload
an image, WordPress creates multiple copies of it in different sizes.
Choose whether you want a thumbnail, medium sized image or the entire
image added to your post.
After you enter the information for you photo and choose how to visualize it in your post, click the Insert into post button. You will see the image added to your editor window. You can now update your post and go to the front end of your site. You will see the newly added image added to your post. Following the same instructions, you can add music and video to your posts.
