  • You can upload your own images either by Clicking and Dragging the image into the folder or by using the Upload Files button which looks like a save disk with a plus sign over it. (Note: Please upload your images in the sizes you want to use them. If they are too large then they will come up on the site in that same large format. Make sure images are not larger than about 1000 pixels on the longest side (for images other than slideshow banners which are typically longer) and file sizes should be under 1mb. If you need help compressing/optimizing a file size then you can use this tool https://compressor.io/compress Likewise, if images are too small then they will not easily stretch to fill space and could become blurry or pixelated).
  • You can remove any images from your Media Manager by right-clicking on the image and choosing Delete.
