Hi,

I’m moving from design phase to html/CSS and migrating my site to EE. All that to say one of my paths isn’t working on my site - go here.

I have manually uploaded images into the default ee image folder, inside it I have a folder “newSite” where the image resides.

Now the image is part of an embed template, so in my site template, the index template, I have this code
```
{embed="sudden_embeds/intro"}
```
and in the intro template is this code;
```
images/newSite/imageSquare.gif
```
.

The image right now is just a grey square gif but it’s not showing. What’s going on?

It looks like a path problem, probably because of how you have your templates embedded. You can try using the absolute image URL instead of just the relative URL.

Try:
```
<a href="http://www.sudden-inspiration.com/cms/images/newSite/imageSquare.gif">http://www.sudden-inspiration.com/cms/images/newSite/imageSquare.gif</a>
```

Wohoo my first EE Forum post.

Looking at your source, it shows up as:
```
../images/newSite/imageSquare.gif
```
Which is obviously a dot too many.
I don’t recall this as EE behavior, so double check your template. I could be wrong.

EDITED: Came across kind of rude before.

The absolute URL worked, thanks!
