I’m having problem with add jpg image.

I put jpg file at [static] folder. and I type this

 ![Some Text](/myImage.jpg)

And This is my html sorce code

<img src="/myImage.jpg" alt="Some Text"></p>

I’m affraid to ask this becase I think this is common question but I couln’t figure out.
I researched and tried but I doen’t work. Could someone teach me how to solove this?

Maybe your image has the wrong file rights.

Have you tried something like

chmod 644 myImage.jpg

Thank you very much for helping me :smiley:

I did what you taught me. but nothing changed…
But I just could display JPG data using below code.

 ![1.jpg](https://mywebsite.net/hugo/vs/public/1.jpg)

Before I here to ask this question I already set correct baseURL

  baseURL = "https://mywebsite.net/hugo/vs/public"

I just wondering why I set right baseURL but I need to have to write
whole jpg path?

I don’t think that’s supposed to be the correct baseURL.

Also, could you test this?

<img src="{{ "myImage.jpg" | relURL }}" alt="Some Text">

If you want to learn more, please check the documentation about relURL.

Thank you for helping me.

My baseURL isn’t correct? I can display everything without image so I thoguth this is correct.
Actually I don’t have domain for this hugo project .I just run hugo as test my rental server. location is
[vs] dir.

And I tried your code. however image won’t show up. just This code displaied.

Uh? Why aren’t you using the Hugo webserver?

I use hugo webserver too . http://localhost:1313/
if webiste looks fine then I upload my rental server. so I use both.

About your code

<img src="{{ "myImage.jpg" | relURL }}" alt="Some Text">

About your img code.
I checked both server but it just display as text.

Are you really sure you’re replacing the <img src="/myImage.jpg" alt="Some Text"> with the code I posted in the layout html file?

Sorry, but I can’t do much without seeing the actual files. I’m basically shooting in the dark.

AFAIK, your problems seem to be related to relative paths. If you were using the "https://mywebsite.net/" as your baseURL and wanted to show the "https://mywebsite.net/hugo/vs/public/1.jpg" in a page called "https://mywebsite.net/whatever/", you would need to use a relative path, like ![1.jpg](../hugo/vs/public/1.jpg) or use something like the absURL/relURL function. But then again I don’t know your project structure.

I wrote <img src="/myImage.jpg" alt="Some Text"> at .md file.

I understand that. Thank you very much for kindness.
I will get domain and change my baseURL and test.
I learned alot from you. Thank you.
