• • Click the button with a plus sign and type "image" to search for the image block and select it. (Or hit the enter key to start a new line and type "/image" and select the option that pops up.) 
    • Select "Media Library"
      • If you or a team member already uploaded the image to the WP media library, search for and select the image. 
        • Tip: When searching the media library, be sure to select "All Files" on the left side before you search so that WordPress looks through the entire media library. Alternatively, if you know which folder the image is in, you can drill down through the path of image folders to get to your image.
        • Make sure the image has alt text describing what is in the photo, including all text displayed in the image, to meet accessibility requirements.
      • Otherwise, click the Upload Files tab to add your image to the correct media library folder.
        
        • Under Choose Folder, click on "Uncategorized". In the dropdown, look for "Calendar Events" folder and then select your dept/program folder below it.
          • Tip: before selecting the Upload Files tab, find the folder you need to add images to in the Media Library tab and select it. When you navigate to the Upload Files tab, your folder will be selected for you.
        • Drag and drop the image from your computer or click "Select Files" and find your image on your computer.
      • Once the image has loaded, you must add alt text describing what is in the image. This is an accessibility requirement for every image that provides readers important context (especially images that have text in them). All text in an image must be typed out in the alt text field. If the image is purely decorative, you can leave the alt text blank.
      • You can also add a caption if you like.
        • Tip: Adding the caption to the image in the media library means it will display under the image every time it is used. If you might use the image multiple times and don't always want the caption displayed, you will need to add it to the image block in the event editor instead. 
• Editing an Image
  • Click on the image block to see editing options.
    • Above the image you can:
      • move the image to a higher or lower position on the page (use the up or down arrow; you can also grab the six dots and drag the block up or down)
      • choose an alignment option (only use align left, align center, or align right) -- click the three horizontal lines (with the middle one being thicker than the others) in the toolbar to choose your image alignment.
        • Image Modified

• • • • add a hyperlink to the image
      • crop the image
    • On the right side of the screen you can:
      • add alt text (remember this is required for every image)
      • edit the image size (select a predetermined size created by WordPress or reduce the size)
        • Never make an image larger than its original size. This will make it blurry or pixelated.
        • Make sure you don't stretch or squash the image. You can adjust height and width but must keep their proportions the same. If you need the proportions to be different, you have to crop the image. (see above)
    • Below the image you can add an optional caption. (This is the recommended location for adding a caption, if you would like one displayed.)

• Deleting an Image
  • Use one of the following methods:
    • From a blog post, click on an image block and click "replace" if you already have an image added to the block. From there, find the image to delete and click "Delete permanently" (this will be under the image on the right side of the screen).
    • Go to the WP login dashboard and click Media in the left side menu. Find your image by searching or going through the folders and hover over it. Click "Delete permanently".
