WordPress Simple Image Link offers all users a new way for putting images in your sidebars.

Specifically designed for those with little or no HTML knowledge, WordPress Simple Image Link will save you time and effort when displaying support buttons, ads and, well, anything else which uses an image.

Once the plugin is installed, just add the “Simple Image Link” widget to any of your sidebars.  Add 1, add 2, add as many as you need.

Current Version:

  • Version 2.2

WordPress Compatibility:

WordPress: 2.8+

If you are currently using WordPress 2.7, please use version 2.1.1.

Download:

Download WordPress Simple Image Link Plugin.

NOTE:

If you were one of the three who downloaded it from our site, then please download the latest version from WordPress.org, since this will ensure you can use the automatic plugin update feature.  The name of the plugin has changed from ‘Image Link’ to ‘Simple Image Link’ as there was a name conflict with the former.

History:

I wrote this plugin because it was a pain to create and update the HTML when using a text widget to display an image. Also, when there are multiple text widgets, you couldn’t remember which was which without going in and checking. Voila; WP Image Link was born.

Features/Benefits:

  • Allows multiple widgets to be used within any or all of your blog sidebars.
  • Widget title can be optionally displayed.
  • Displays an image of any size.
  • Allows the image to be scaled as an absolute pixel size or as a percentage of the original image size.
  • Allows the image’s alternative text, for use by text readers, or when the image is not displayed, to be specified.
  • Allows text to be displayed after the image, with an optional break between image and text.
  • Allows the image to be aligned to the left or right of the sidebar, or centered within the sidebar.
  • Allows a destination URL to be specified should the image be clicked on by the user.
  • Allows the destination URL to be opened in the same, or a new, window.
  • Allows the link for the destination URL to be created as a ‘nofollow’, ensuring Google juice does not flow to advertisers.
  • Allows the image’s alternative text to be displayed as a popup on the image.
  • Allows additional padding to be displayed above and below the image.

Installation:

  • Upload the ‘image-link’ directory to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
  • Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  • Start adding “Image Link” widgets to your sidebars.

Screen shot of WordPress Simple Image Link:

Simple Image Link Properties

Title

The title is what is displayed within the widget header when viewing your current widgets within the WordPress dashboard.

Display title

Whether the title should be displayed within the sidebar (see image below).

Display image for the following users

Allow the widget to be displayed for users with specific roles.

  1. Do not display – The image is not displayed to anyone
  2. Not logged in – Normal users who do not log in
  3. Subscriber – Users with the subscriber role
  4. Contributor – Users with the contributor role
  5. Author – Users with the author role
  6. Editor – Users with the editor role
  7. Administrator – Users with the administrator role

The role can be qualified by:

  1. At least this role – The user can be of this role or above
  2. Only this role – The user is only this explicit role

Image location

The location of the image to be displayed. That is, it’s URL.

Image dimensions

The width and height of the image, expressed as pixels or as a percentage of the current size.

These are optional.

If no width and height are specified, then the image will be displayed in its original size.

If the original image is larger than you require, then you can explicitly set the width and the height of the image and the browser will display the image at this size.

For example, if the original image is 300 pixels wide by 300 pixels high, and you want to display it as 150 pixels wide by 150 pixels high, then set the width and the height to ‘150px’ and ‘150px’. ‘px’ is the unit for pixels.

Alternatively, you can set the width and height both to ‘50%’, and the browser will display the image at 50% of its original width and height.

Image alt text

This is the ‘alt’ or ‘alternative text’ that is shown when images can not be displayed, or a text reader is used.

Text to display after image

Some text can be displayed after image.

Break between image and text

Whether a break is inserted between the image and text.  If not selected, then a non breaking space is inserted between the image and text to ensure some visual seperation.

Alignment

Method used to align the image within the sidebar.

Available methods are:

Left
Center
Right

Link location

The destination, i.e. the URL, where the user will be taken upon clicking on the image.

Link target

This allows you to select whether to open the link in the same browser window, or a new window.

Use nofollow on link

Google recommends using ‘nofollow’ for all paid (advertising) links.  Select whether you want the link to be nofollow here.

Use shadowbox on link

Add shadowbox as a rel attribute value, so that the link is opened within a Shadow Box.
NOTE: Shadow Box must be provided external to this plugin.

Display image alt text as pop up/tool tip text

Select whether you want to display the image’s alt text; i.e. the text that appears as a popup/tooltip.

Additional padding

Additional padding can be applied above and/or below the image.

Padding units should be expressed as pixels (e.g. 123px) or a multiple of the current font size (e.g. 1.5em).

The screenshot below shows how the image is displayed when applying:

  • Above padding of 50px
  • Below padding of 3.0em.

Change Log

Version 2.2

WordPress 2.8 support.

Version 2.1

Use correct location of plugins folder when ‘WordPress address’ and ‘Blog address’ differ within Settings.

Fixed for Robert@PNG.

Version 2.0

Allow widget to be displayed based on the user’s role – inspired by Praveen Baratam [praveen.baratam AT gmail DOT com].

Version 1.5.1

Fixed minor spelling mistake in Portuguese translation – thanks again to Alexandre Pereira.

Version 1.5

Thanks to Alexandre Pereira for providing the incentive to do this the Portuguese translations.

Version 1.4

Allows image to be hidden without having to delete the widget.

Version 1.3

Allows ’shadowbox’ to be included within the link’s rel attribute value.
NOTE: Shadow Box support must be provided external to this plugin.

    hi. Thanks for plugin

    perfect.

    Regards

    I would like to put a rel=”shadowbox” in the link so that when someone clicks on the image, it opens it up in the Shadowbox.

    In what file do I need to add the rel= code it?

    Thanks!

  3. Mad
    21 September 2008 22:54

    @James – Try version 1.3 of the plugin which allows you to do this. Please rate the plugin if you think it deserves it :-)

  4. James
    22 September 2008 5:19

    Thanks, now it works great with shadowbox. But, there is an issue. If I choose to use the no follow option, the shadowbox will not function. If I disable the no follow option (box unchecked), shadowbox works.

    I looked at the source and when the no follow option is used it inputs this.

    rel=’nofollow shadowBox’

    For the shadowbox to work, it has to be rel=”shadowbox” and not rel=’nofollow shadowBox’


  5. 22 September 2008 5:42

    Great widget! Thank you very much!

    It would be even cooler if you added the image uploader and the library so that users can insert an image without copy n pasting an url. That way you could turn Wordpress into an even more awesome cms. Maybe something for version 2.0?

  6. Mad
    22 September 2008 7:08

    @James – Both nofollow and shadowbox use the rel attribute which is the reason for the conflict. When multiple entries are required, they should be space delimited, as in rel=”nofollow shadowbox”. Google and other search engines will respect this; however, it looks like your ShadowBox libraries don’t. As to whether there are any ShadowBox libraries which respect multiple values within the rel attribute I am none the wiser sorry. Maybe a request within the ShadowBox world will yield either the correct answer or a request for change.

  7. 22 September 2008 17:01

    Thanks for the plugin. Im writing a review of it to my site and will have a link back to you.


  8. James
    22 September 2008 19:40

    For your coding knowledge, I see that the shadowbox accepts multiple attribute by using semicolons.

    For example, rel=”shadowbox;width=400;height=300″.

    It’s ok, I’ll just diable the no follow option. Nothing too serious!

    Oh… btw, thank you very much for a great helpful plugin. Simple and it does the job! :)

  9. Mad
    22 September 2008 21:45

    @James – Although I have never used ShadowBox, my understanding is that you typically use height and width parameters for content other than images – http://mjijackson.com/shadowbox/doc/usage.html.

    Hopefully what is currently implemented is a good compromise – it would be nice to be all things to all men, but alas.

    I am glad you found it useful.

    25 September 2008 21:11

    Hey, Mad.

    How would I go about putting a break between the widget title and the image? ATM, there’s no space/break between the widget title and the image. :)

  11. Mad
    25 September 2008 21:29

    @James – You can add space above and below the actual image by adding the following to your theme’s style sheet:

    .widget_simpleimagelink img

    {

    padding-top: 50px;

    padding-bottom: 50px;

    }

    You can use this technique to change any of the styles associated with the image (img tag) which occur within the Simple Image link widget, whose class is widget_simpleimagelink.

    Change the 50 pixels value to one of your preference.

    This approach affects all image link widgets.

    If you want to effect a single image link widget, then view the page source and look for the li tag (list item) which contains the widget whose id value is simpleimagelink-N where N is a number.

    For example:

    <li id=”simpleimagelink-224698471″ class=”widget widget_simpleimagelink”>…</li>

    You can then add style sheet entries which affect only this widget, by:

    #simpleimagelink-224698471 img

    {

    padding-top: 50px;

    padding-bottom: 50px;

    }

    Thank, dude! The CSS padding-top thingy works wonders! :D

    thanks bro,

    work this plugin me and verry handy

  15. Mad
    4 October 2008 15:30

    @Alexandre – Thank you.

    I have updated the widget to support people like yourself translating the strings within the plugin. Version 1.5 now contains your Portuguese translations. I have also reduced the size of the width and height text boxes allowing a translation of Width where everything remains on the same line.

    Could you please test just to make sure it is working correctly?

  16. 5 October 2008 3:43

    Martyn the translation had an error, i already fix it. The new link, is this one.

    I uploaded the simple image link plug in to my wordpress blog, but I Can’t find any place for how to manage it? I know I am slow but how do I manage those ads I want to place on my blog? What is the path so that only I can add, update, change and manage advertising on my site?

  19. Mad
    5 October 2008 21:48

    @Scott – This plugin install a simple widget which allows you to display an image within an optional link. The emphasis is on simple. If you want a more sophisticated plugin to manage ads then i would consider ones like wp125.

  20. 9 October 2008 10:32

    Just installed the widget, added our first image – and – voila! Thank you for a simple, easy aid to creating a Buddha-full blog!

    Hello Mad,

    Your plugin has been really useful and i am grateful you shared it with everyone.

    I have extended your plugin such that the “Image Link Instance” appears only for users with particular capability/role or for all users. The Capability / Role option can be configured through widget control panel.

    This modification is particularly useful for websites based on wordpress which make use of Wordpress Role/Capability based content and access management.

    I have duly commented my modifications in the source code.

    Hope you will integrate this feature into your plugin.

    Thanks once again.

    Praveen

  22. Mad
    25 October 2008 10:24

    @Praveen – You may find version 2.0 useful – inspired by your comment and initial code – Thanks

  23. Praveen
    26 October 2008 15:19

    Dear Martyn,

    Thanks a lot for the credit.

    Actually there were many bugs in the code i sent to you last time. It was just an idea at that point of time. I fixed them. Currently i am using the modified code in my project. I need finer control over who sees what links, and i achieve that control with the help of custom capabilities, when roles alone are not sufficient.

    I use your plugin to create button bars for navigation depending upon user role/capabilities. It greatly enhances Usability of a blog/portal.

    So my modifications are essentially closer to what you have done with the update but with my version people can choose between Global (All / Unregistered), Role and Capability based display of the image link. Its also integrated to work with Role Manager Plugin.

    All my modification are duly commented. Thank you.

    Regards,

    Dr. Praveen Baratam

    This is a great tool!

    I use it to post flyers for upcoming parties/events that I’ll be shooting in a simple, clean manner. It does exactly what I need it to. Thanks again!


  25. 23 November 2008 22:28

    I’m definitely going to use this. I’ve been trying to make a clickable widget all day. Now that this is available I can finish the job and get to bed.

    Thanks for a wonderful tool.


  26. 28 November 2008 14:30

    Hi,

    I have just enabled your plugin on my blog and it works great.

    There is one issue that I would like your feedback on:

    The plugin generates a lot of 404 errors on:

    /wp-content/plugins/simple-image-link/simple-image-link.css

    …and I was wandering if there is anyway of stopping these from happening.

    Cheers,

    R

  27. Mad
    29 November 2008 2:47

    Hi Robert,

    I am glad you like our plugin.

    The correct URI should be ‘blog/wp-content/plugins/simple-image-link/simple-image-link.css’.

    Can you tell me the values for your WordPress and Blog addresses (URLs) within your Settings?

    I do the same thing as the other plugins you have loaded, but I will test your specific setup based on your answer to the above.

    Cheers

    Martyn

  28. 29 November 2008 3:59

    Greeting Mad,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    I have double checked the link that generates the 404 and it is definitely.

    /wp-content/plugins/simple-image-link/simple-image-link.css

    Here are my settings as requested:

    Wordpress address (URL) is: http://www.trupela.com/blog

    Blog address (URL): http://www.trupela.com

    Regards,

    R


  29. 29 November 2008 7:25

    Martyn,

    I am forcing a 301 redirect from: /wp-content/plugins/simple-image-link/simple-image-link.css

    to:

    /blog/wp-content/plugins/simple-image-link/simple-image-link.css

    and all seems OK from a 404 perspective (nil 404’s).

    Interestingly I am not seeing any difference with the image displayed via the widget – Are we meant to see a difference? And if it made no difference to the image itself with or with or without simple-image-link.css – then what exactly is the purpose of simple-image-link.css?

    Hope my question is clear.

    R

    NB: Thanks for your support and willingness to assist with the issue at hand

  30. Mad
    29 November 2008 13:58

    @Robert – I was incorrectly using the ‘Blog address’ rather than the ‘WordPress address’ when determining the location of the plugins folder. Please update to version 2.1 of the plugin and all should be resolved.

    Cheers

  31. 29 November 2008 15:28

    Hi Martyn,

    Thanks!

    Have updated plugin, removed redirect and appears to working well – ie no 404 errors.

    I remain curious whether I can make changes to: simple-image-link.css to customise the displayed image even further. Eg: if I wanted to display a border around the image.

    Regards,

    R

  32. Mad
    29 November 2008 15:38

    Robert – I would not recommend changing the plugin’s style sheet, since it will be overwritten on the next update. I would instead use your current theme’s style sheet to apply the required changes. See my comment dated September 25 above.

    Cheers

  33. 2 January 2009 12:46

    Hi, I thought I’d take a chance and try to install it on my blog (I’m using WP 2.7 and I couldn’t find any info saying it was okay for this new version). After I installed it, I couldn’t see it on my list of plugins. I activated it just in case and still can’t see it on my plug ins – I’m going to go up to my server and manually remove it from my plugins folder. Does anyone else out there have any info about 2.7 and this plugin? I’d really like to use it…


  34. 2 January 2009 13:36

    Hi Tanya,

    The plugin has been working fine on my 2.7 blog for some time. I run the K2 theme – latest build (743) with about a squillion other plugins and have not found any issues related to this plugin specifically.

    Regards,

    R


  35. 2 January 2009 13:46

    Thanks Robert, I’ll look at the plugin again before I give up on it now that you’ve given me hope -

    hi Mad,

    is there a way to call this plugin direct, for a non widget ready blog and which syntax can be used then – ?! thanks for help and answer.

  37. Mad
    10 January 2009 18:19

    @Tanya – We are running 2.7 for Blog-Well and the images you see are all done using the plugin.

    @nilson – Unfortunately there is no lower level interface which could be called. All entry points into the plugin’s code are all done through the multi-instance plugin interface used by WorPress. The plugin just provides an easy way to create an image element within a link element, without having to correctly encode it within WordPress’ standard text control.

    Hello

    I have tried to upload the image to my sidebar and there is an error, instead of the image is a small red cross?Any ideas?

  39. Mad
    21 January 2009 8:16

    @Adam – Enter the URL of the image within the browser address bar to confirm that the image exists. It is best to work with fully qualified resources, such as “http://example.com/images/foo.png”, or “/images/foo.png”.

  40. 25 January 2009 20:25

    Every time I want to open plugin menu to activate the plugin I always get 404 error. Before that I have copied the plugin to plugins direktory. What’s wrong with my blog?

    Regards


  41. 9 February 2009 7:33

    Thanks a lot for the great plugin/widget. Good job.

    I am using it to make links to my other social media sites and I was wondering if it would be possible somehow have the image links in a row next to each other? Kind of like having two or more of image links within the same sidebar widget? Now I have used two of them on top of each other, and that takes more space. Maybe a future feature?

    Thanks a lot! Yellow regards.

    FYI, scaling an image based on a percentage does not work in Safari on either the Mac or the PC. It seems to handle the width correctly, but it doesn’t handle the height. Entering the values in pixels does work, though. Percents work fine on FF Mac and PC and on IE7 PC (at least for me). Not sure if that’s fixable or not.


  43. 5 March 2009 21:20

    Just what I was looking for… I especially like the fact that you can use more than one image-link in the sidebar. Thanks!


  44. Marianna
    29 March 2009 10:04

    Hello,

    i’ve just installed the plugin and i’ve discovered that it does not respect the right border of my sidebar (a scroll appears down the page) making it larger. The problem is not the size of the image. Can somebody help me??!! Thanks a lot!


  45. 10 April 2009 14:51

    I can’t thank you enough for this information. I’ve spent the last 4 hours trying to hook up a link with an image and I was ready to start drinking! After I found your site, I was able to get it all done in about 3 minutes!

    You’re the chilly-mostest!

    I was looking for a widget to do banner exchanges in the sidebar, and came upon your plugin. This is simple to use and “Just Works”! Thanks a lot!!

    Minor bug though, I download the latest ver. from WordPress.org, and the checkbox to display/not display the title is not working for me. The title of the pic is always displayed on the sidebar if there’s anything typed into the “title” box.

    not a big problem, since I can just leave the title empty, but it will be kinda hard to find which is which in the widgets screen….


  47. Zanti
    16 May 2009 23:11

    I’m somewhat new to WP and to widgets. Which means I’m a little confused, no make that a lot confused.

    I’m creating a new WP site using the latest Branford Magazine theme. The theme has in the sidebar, space for an advert 250 x 250.

    I would like to place 4 125 x 125 ads in this space. Two of the ads is for my own e-books the others will be for affiliate products. My understanding is once I sign-up as an affiliate I’ll get the codes for the ads to place. But how do I place my own ads for my e-book?

    I’ve been doing searches on wordpress for over an hour + trying to find out how to place ads in the sidebar. I found the Simple Image Link plugin and it seems like it is what I need. I just don’t know how to use it and widgets, yet.

    I’m feeling a little dense right now. I installed the Simple Image Link plugin and now I’m feeling even more lost. When I go on thisl site it looks as if I should be able to get this see the Screen shot of WordPress Simple Image Link: on my site in admin area. So I admit I don’t know what I’m doing.

    The last part of the installation after activating the plugin is: start adding “image link” widgets to your sidebar.

    Where do I add the “image link widget” and how. This is my first attempt at using widgets and am lost, help.

    Thanks

    Zanti

    Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

    Here is the line 445 :

    Doesn’t work in WP 2.8

    The widget shows up in the admin page, and i can drag it to the sidebar and configure, but it never shows on the site and when i return to the widget page, it’s gone.

    12 June 2009 19:13

    For some reason the simple image link plugin won’t save on wordpress 2.8 does this happen for anyone else?


  52. 13 June 2009 13:31

    There is a major issue with 2.8 :(


  53. 22 June 2009 14:57

    I’m also having the same problems with Wordpress 2.8 as everyone else. Will wait until there is an update.


  54. 28 June 2009 16:59

    Will there be an update which fixes the problem in 2.8? I’m building a new site, going live in August which will rely pretty heavily on Simple Image Link. PLEASE update it!

    Just installed your absolutely wonderful Plugin widget, thank you.

    However, it would seem that it does not work with latest version WP 2.8

    The widget appears okay in the admin page – I can drag it to the sidebar and configure, but, it does not display on the site and when I return to admin page, the widget – it’s gone! (back to “available widgets”).

    I do so hope that you are able to update, whilst being aware of your time, which is precious.

    Many thanks.

    Hi,

    I am having exactly the same problem. I can add the widget in the admin page and modify the content etc. I can save and close the simple-image-link widget admin page. But when I navigate away from the admin page and come back to it the widget has disappeared from the sidebar!

    Any idea whet is going on as I really love this plugin??

    Thanks

    John

    HI,

    I am a no-coder and i need help. I installed your simple but wonderful plugin on my site. The only thing that bothers me is the default padding. It’s too much. I tried adding negative padding pixels (e.g. -20px) but this didn’t work. Any help would be kindly appreciated.

    Kind regards,

    Johnny P.

    @Johnny P You can´t use negative padding when you styling things. There is no support for negative padding in css. I´ve looked at your site and your right sidebar where you apparently have added the widget. The images dont´got any padding at all.

    Hi and thanks for your reply. I know i have no padding at all, but that is my issue. The spaces between the images are by default too much that i actually need. Is there any way these default spaces could be more narrow? if this is not possible, i would have to look for another solution.


  63. 27 August 2009 7:29

    @johnny p. Well, the problem is no the image widget. It´s that the paddings and margins on the list elements that the widget is placed inside. Change these values.

    I would recommend you to download the Firefox plugin Firebug to get a better view of the code that Wordpress generating and how to write css rules to change it.

    @Jonas,

    I’m not a coder so some things are not common sense for me and i have to do my research more than a coder does. But you have pointed me in the right direction, thanks! I have changed certain values in my stylesheet where the widgetized sidebar is mentioned. Now i have more control over the padding through the widget itself.

    Mad,

    your plugin seems the only one that does the function I require, but it aint working with WP 2.8.4. Do you plan to upgrade it? I’m writing to you because I can’t code a hello world, and your plugin would help me a lot!

    Thanks, and sorry to bother =)

    Btw, what happens when I use the plugin is that the widget disappear after the configuration.

    Cheers from Brasil!

    I’d also love this to work on 2.8+. There have been quite a few comments on here regarding 2.8, would you please let us know if there any plans to get this working in 2.8+ ?

    Many thanks.

    At long last WordPress 2.8 support has been added.

    Still not working in 2.8.4 for me. Same problem as described above. Great plug-in, any plans to update it to work in the latest WordPress?

    Yeah, not working for me in 2.8 either — I fill in all of the relavant info in my widget admin area, and the second I navigate away from it, the widget is out of my sidebar and back in the inactive pool…

    A shame too, since this was such a nice idea — any chance we can figure out what’s going on?

    Hi,

    Your plugin is starting to drive me crazy, I just can’t find the link where I can set my “images links” in the dashboard… I don’t know if it’s a bug but I need to change one of the links I made like 1 year ago and can’t find the “simple image link” panel.

    HELP!

    @JB – Can you install the Developer plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-developer-assistant/) and once activiated:

    Select the Developer Options

    Scroll down to find widget_simpleimagelink

    Select “Show Serialized Data”

    Select all the text shown

    E-mail this to me at mad at blog-well dot com

    This will allow me to see what the saved data is.

    I have 5 blogs all upgraded from 2.7 to 2.8.4, and all run the plugin successfully.

    So I am suspecting it is data related, in that an earlier version of the plugin saves data in a way which causes the latest version grief.

    Is There a way I can display 3 icons across in a row for my FB, Twitter, and Vimeo buttons? Would love to do this!

    What am I doing wrong? I’m a new WordPress user just building my blog. I just installed simple-image-link, activated it, put it in my sidebar, filled in all the blanks, including the full URL of the image, saved it. The alt text shows up on my blog, but the image does not.

    Any suggestions?


  78. 5 January 2010 13:30

    hey there, love the idea of your widget, something exactly like I was looking for. One problem. If I ask it to omit the title, it screws up the display and does not show anything below it. If the title is there, it looks great, but I do not want the images to be in the boxes. How do i provide an invisible wrapper around it when the title is not shown?


  79. 10 January 2010 16:20

    Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will come back again – taking your feeds too now, Thanks.

    I’m Out! :)

    Is it possible to reduce the padding between the images below the minimum that it is, if i leave the additional padding blank the padding between images is still quite big and i want to reduce it?

    Please tell me how you got you customized your favicon. I have tried 5 or 6 different ways…

    @jdave

    I have manually modified our theme to include the following on the header of each page:

    <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://blog-well.com/favicon.ico” type=”image/x-icon” />

    I had to clear the Firefox cache to see any changes take affect. From memory, IE automatically detects a change in the favicon, but Firefox’s cached copy doesn’t seem to want to change without a bit of help.
