How to add an image from your iPad camera roll, WordPress media library or a URL to a WordPress blog post/page using BlogPad Pro for iPad.
Step 1:
Create a new post or open the post you want to edit by tapping on the orange ‘Posts’ icon and selecting: ‘Edit content’.
Once your post is open tap on your post where your want the image to go:
Step 2:
Tap on the camera icon to add your image.
Select where you want to add your image from. You can choose ‘From Device’ (from your iPad camera roll), ‘From Media Library’ or ‘From URL’
Step 3
If you are adding an image from your Camera Roll just tap to add:
If your image is too large to upload (this is controlled by the Max upload filesize setting in your blog settings) you will see this message (below). If you choose to add the image anyway you will need to make the image size smaller (instructions below).
You can also add an image from Media Library (you can search the image titles to find the image you’re looking for):
You can also add an image from URL. You will need to know the web address of the image you want to add:
Step 4:
You will need to add Title Text for your image before it can be inserted. It is also a good idea to add Alt Text – you should use a short phrase which describes your picture.
To stop the image being too large for your blog you can change the width or height by tapping on the number and editing the number. You can also use the % slider to change the size of your image.
Once you’re happy with the size and details tap: Insert Image.
You can always edit your image settings again by tapping on your image and selecting the yellow button (see below). The red icon deletes your image.
Will there be an option of adding multiple photos easier for sideshows or galleries?
Hi
We haven’t added a multiple-image upload feature for this version – would you find that useful for a future release? Do you use the WP.com slideshows & galleries or a specific plugin which does that?
Thanks! Mary, BlogPad Pro
Yes! Slideshow please! That is my biggest (and only real) issue with the blog apps.
Hi Anne
Can you send me a link to one of your blog posts with a slideshow in it, and we’ll look into that for you
thanks, Mary
Me too is use galleries a lot in my posts http://www.lakesadambabbles.co.uk. Definitely a must have feature.
Hi Adam
We’re hoping to add support for galleries in our next release :)
