 * Is there anyway I can use code like this is my post?
 * <?php
    if (is_single()) { echo ‘<img src=\”test.jpg\” alt=\”Test Image\” />’;}?
   >
 * Because at the moment it’s not allowing me too.

 * you want the code to execute or just be displayed? your question isnt clear?
 * You cannot simply paste php, (or any language for that matter) into a post, especially
   if you want it to be executed.

 * Well I want that image from that post to be displayed only if it is on the single.
   php…
 * So eg..
 * Text text text
 * <display pic if is single.php
 * Text text text
 * Why can’t I use php in my post?

 * _Why can’t I use php in my post?_
 * Because its not “safe” for starters. Because the wp devs care. Doesnt really 
   matter.
 * The solution is easily found though via that magical search function:

 * Yes the search function is magical. But none of those posts solve my problem.
   The plugins only allow ‘Echo’..
 * They don’t allow me to do if(is_single()), do they..

 * I reckon if you cannot find a plugin that works than youre left to code your 
   own plugin, ask someone else to write you a plugin, or find another way to accomplish
   whatever it is you’re trying to do.
