How to make a link in wordpress

I’m trying to make a link in the form of an image, so that the person navigates directly to the page that image is linked to. However I have no idea how to do this. Right now I have the image itself but when I click it it leads to a whole other blank page.

Can this be done using the tools of wordpress or maybe I need to download a plugin? Or perhaps I need to use HTML codes or something of the sort?

  2. <a href="http://yourlink" target="_blank"><img src="your image link" /></a>
    

    You need to click on TEXT tab in the WP Post dashboard and type some html …
    also need to know that there is no plugin for anything you imagine… some things are simple enough and a lot of people can do it on their own

  3. If I understand you correctly all you need to do is wrap a <a href=""></a> around the <img src="">:

    <a href="http://example.com"><img src="imagelink"></a>
    

    The above will have an image and if you click on the image then it will bring you to http://example.com
