Is there a step by step explanation on how to add an image to the sidebar using the "About" plugin? I read this forum thread but I don't understand what it's saying and I don't want to break my blog. I wish someone would create a plugin specifically for sidebar external links and images. It's one of the hardest things to do not just on Bludit but also on WordPress for some reason. I don't have the skills to create such a plugin. Is there a 1 - 2 - 3 tutorial somewhere? Thank you!

I finally had time to try this and it didn't work. No matter where I paste the code in the plug in, it makes the entire plug in disappear from my page. When I remove the image code, my previous "about" info comes back. I've enclosed a screenshot of one way I tried it so maybe you can see where it went wrong. The link to the image itself works when I paste it into a new browser tab, but not in the plug-in.

You can hard code your links and images in the sidebar page of your Bludit template, just like my website : https://docs.bludit.ir
It's so easy

Try with a reasonable file name.

For example

Code: Select all

malum_public_bitcoin_125px.png
instead of

Code: Select all

Malum public bitcoin 125px.png
