Proceed with caution using photos on your WordPress site or any website.  You must have permission to use an image if you didn’t create it and also give proper attribution or credit.  Learn more about photo permission and attribution.

  • Getting started – In your WordPress Editor, that’s where you create a post or page, you will see an Add Media button.  Click on the button and you can upload your photos, add information, select image size and more.  When you are ready, insert the image into your post. The image  will appear.  You can also edit the image or remove it after you have inserted into the post.  Learn more about uploading photos from WordPress support.
