Courses Plus Student 2,248 Pointsimages not uploading?
Hi folks, thanks in advance!
Pretty self-explanatory situation here. I wanted to upload my own images, and it's in progress limbo. I tried once before, and also tried to upload the lesson image files. Neither has worked!
My images are .pdf rather than jpeg, and in the 100's of kilobytes size-wise. What am I missing?

There are a number of ways you can display PDFs but you will have to look into it more, but if you just using <img> tags then you will have to use such file types as jpg png gif etc

Courses Plus Student 2,248 PointsGreat, I got back on track with this issue. After taking Adam's clue and converting to jpg, i found that it would only work if i selected the files themselves (not the folder that contained them).
