How to Upload Screenshots to WordPress
How to Upload Screenshots to WordPress or discovering how to add screen shots to WordPress is easy with the FireFox plugin, but if you are like me and want to keep the plugins down to a manageable number, then here is a way to do it using FireFox but without a plugin.
- Create your Screenshot
- Create your Screenshot using Alt/PrtScr [Captures the topmost window].
- Open the WordPress post editor and click in a blank space and click Ctr/V [Paste]. Nothing will happen on your screen, but Firefox will create a file called moz-screenshot1.jpg inside your computer.
- Next, use the WP ‘Add Media’ dialog to upload a picture
and navigate to C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Temp and select the latest moz-screenshot.jpg image
5. Edit the Title option and so on and click insert to finish adding a screenshot to your WordPress post.
- Mozilla FireFox Quirk
This works because you tried to ‘paste’ the screenshot into a Rich-Text Editor[W/Press], which triggers the action of Mozilla storing the screenshot in the User/Username/AppData/Local/Temp folder. This is easier than opening a photo editing program, pasting in the picture, and then saving it to a folder on your hard drive before you can do your screenshot upload.
- XP Users
XP Users will probably find the path looks more like C://Documents and Settings/Users/Yourname/Local Settings/Temp

You are welcome, glad to be of service.
Thanks for the guide. This is going to be a great help for readers like me.
I had these impression that it is difficult to maintain a word press. Hard as it may, it definitely looks good. You have a very detailed instruction and this will be a definite help once i get started with word press.
Nice technique! Actually, I’ve been using print screen before. I never thought that there’s another way to really get an up close screen shot or the alt + prt sc. Compared to the normal routine, this is much better. At least, you can save some time whenever you’re doing a screen shot tutorials.
Howdy, I’m starting up a blog website and in the middle of making somewhat diverse content. Do you object if I blog something about this blog? Obviously I will provide you and this post due credit.
