I couldn’t get {{item.image}} to work in any of my cms test websites….

image: “/resources/images/0000001welcome.png”

You might wanna try {{item.image.src}}…

There’s a couple of reasons:

1. Instead of `{{item.image}}`, use `{{item.image.src}}`
2. You don’t need to prefix the image src with `/resources/`, so you should have just `images/0000001welcome.png`

So your front matter should look like this:

```auto
---
title: "Your Title"
image:
  src: "images/0000001welcome.png"
---

```

Hope that helps 🙂

I think the lack of visual representation was throwing me off…

I would see the ? For image and didn’t think it worked…

Display in safari - and boom 💥 image shows up!!!

I thought it was like a direct resource and would preview the picture!!!

? To me meant - not working…

Wow 🤯 ever since I started CMS - weeks? Could not get it to work… many tries and variations for hours…

Thank you so much!!!
