968 PointsShow an image on wordpress
Hello,
I have several images that I want to show in some static pages on my wordpress site. I was wondering if I should load them from the Media Library. If so, what is the preferred function? Or should I load them from a images folder on my theme folder? If so, what should be the approach to keep them cached. Thank you,
Elías Orozco
968 PointsI mean the pages are only templates without any additional dynamic content. This templates have different images including my site logo. Should I stick my logo on my theme images folder? Should I stick all other images on this pages on my themes folder too? Which is the best way to handle this? Upload them all to the Media Library. If so, how can I access them (including my logo) via functions?

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/logo.png" alt="Logo ALT Text">
That's a pretty basic example assuming you had an images folder within your theme and a logo image file that was logo.png.

Courses Plus Student 16,968 PointsHi Elias,
What do you mean by static pages? Do you mean you haven't tied these pages into WordPress in any way?
