If you would like to include images or photos on your posts, you will need a Gallery Plugin added to your WP. Please, find here more details on how to install plugins.

Our example is based on WPG2 gallery plugin.

You can download WPG2 or other gallery plugins here.

If you plan to install Gallery 2 plugin, please make sure that you also download and install Imageblock and Imageframes modules for Gallery2. Downloads of the modules can be found here.

Once the Gallery addon is installed, you can see it included in WP template:

You can include images in your WP Posts or Sidebar. In order to include images in the Sidebar, you need to add the following code to your WordPress Sidebar Template file:

<li><?php print g2_sidebarimageblock(); ?></li>

In order to do that, please, find the Sidebar file from the FileManager from your CPanel.

Now you can set your image preferences from WP Admin panel. Please, go to Options - Gallery2 - Sidebar Options, where you can set which pics you would like to include in the Sidebar. Please set the Thumbnail Image Size so that your images are included in the Sidebar and not outside of it. Please, make sure you press Update Options once you make the changes.

Now you can see the Random Image displayed on your WP sidebar.
