# responsive text image

 * Hi Stefan, I just sent you a small donation. Thanks for your top notch service
   in these forums, it hasn’t gone unnoticed!
 * Question for you:
 * I want to insert images from a url instead of from the media uploader.
    Let’s
   say the image is [http://someimage.com/image.png](http://someimage.com/image.png),
   and it’s dimensions are 800*600, and I want to center the text HI THERE
 * I tried this
 *     ```
       <div style="background-image: url(http://someimage.com/image.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:fixed;
       background-position:center; height: 800px; width: 600px; border: none; text-align:center;"><BR/> HI THERE </div>
       ```
   
 * but when I scroll down the page the image isn’t responsive.
 * 1) what inline style do I paste in the text slide for the image to remain responsive?
   
   2) I assume that the max height of the slider has to match the max height of 
   all of my images?
 * Suggestions will be appreciated!
    Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Thank you very much for your donation!
 * I’m not entirely sure if that what you’re trying to accomplish is possible. The
   only way to get the image to show, is to give the element a fixed size, as you
   have already done. The only way you can resize an image that way, is to use [CSS media queries](http://css-tricks.com/css-media-queries/).
 * Perhaps you could look for a plugin that enables you to add images to the media
   page using URLs. As using image slides is the only easy way to show images responsively.
   I’m sorry.
 * Best regards,
    Stefan

 * Thanks.
    The media queries idea helped but it doesn’t have cross browser compatibility.
   I tried to find a plugin that allows upload by urls but couldn’t find one.
 * Pick your brain question- Since I can’t use the url here, let’s say that I used
   the inefficient method of uploading the same image1.png to all of my blogs in
   a multisite network:
 * [http://mydomain.com/blogA/image1.png](http://mydomain.com/blogA/image1.png),
   
   [http://mydomain.com/blogB/image1.png](http://mydomain.com/blogB/image1.png),
   [http://mydomain.com/blogC/image1.png](http://mydomain.com/blogC/image1.png) 
   etc
 * And I now want to switch from image1.png to image2.png but image2.png is not 
   installed on all sub blogs, how would I install this image on all blogs without
   going through the cumbersome process of uploading image2.png manually to each
   blog? Can this be done through phpmyadmin?

 * If you don’t mind going into PHPMyAdmin, you could insert a record to the ‘wp_posts’
   table that points to an external image source. The query for doing this would
   look something like this:
 *     ```
       INSERT INTO wp_posts (ID, post_author, post_date, post_date_gmt, post_content, post_title, post_excerpt, post_status, comment_status, ping_status, post_password, post_name, to_ping, pinged, post_modified, post_modified_gmt, post_content_filtered, post_parent, guid, menu_order, post_type, post_mime_type, comment_count)
       VALUES (NULL, '1', '2013-04-14 07:34:03', '2012-04-14 07:34:03', '', 'External image', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', 'external-image', '', '', '2012-10-20 07:34:03', '2012-10-20 07:34:03', '', '0', 'http://website.com/image.png', '0', 'attachment', 'image/jpeg', '0');
       ```
   
 * This is the query PHPMyAdmin created for me, as I used the form for inserting
   a row. Your tables may not be named ‘wp_posts’ though. They may have different
   prefixes.
 * If the image is added successfully, it should show up in your WordPress media
   library.
