    Does anyone else have trouble inserting button links in wordpress? I am unable to do it via the wordpress control panel, and instead have to do it with my ftp editor.

    I'm not sure what you mean by button link. The things like the blog links you have in your sidebar?

    If the sidebar.php file has suitable file permissions (which you'll be able to set through your ftp client) then you should be able to make the changes you need.

    Well, in the admn panel I can add links, but images do not show up. Text links are fine. The button links in my sidebar are from me putting them in the sidebar.php file myslef

    I'm only guessing here because I'm not 100% we're on the same page. But have you tried...

    1) Clicking img to insert the image then
    2) Highlighting the code that generates and then selecting link to make that image into a link

    I just did that on www.toxicbyte.com and it worked. Is that what you're after?

    I use the links section to control those (actually some are in sidebar :)) and it's just a matter of putting the full url of the image into the image field in the links section.

    I even have it for the dynamic buttons and it's very cool. You just have to be able to read the html they give you and know where to paste the items.

    If you want to post the html you've been given inbetween code tags I'll help you strip it if you like.
