I am trying to use the get_option() function in Wordpress to set the SRC of an image in a theme file. The file is index.php, and represents the homepage.
The current image code is:
<img class="outside-collage-image" <?php echo 'src="'.get_option('article-image-1').'"'; ?>>
However, the image doesn't display, and when I inspect it, it simply says src(unknown)
where it should have the proper SRC
I have tried a myriad of fixes, including leaving the SRC out of the php area and simply calling the function, but it doesn't seem to work.
The oddest part is, if I put on the page <p><?php echo 'src="'.get_option('article-image-1').'"'; ?></p>
to check the output, it outputs into the <p>
the proper code: src="http://image-site.com/my-image.jpg"
(obviously the link to the image is fake, but the point is, it's a valid link.)
Any idea what could be causing this?
