I have tried multiple times to attach a photo from my phone in a post but it simply doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way I can upload this photo to my post?

You can't. It has to be on the Internet somewhere and then you link to it here.

If your photo is stored as a file on your phone, try downloading that file as an 'attachment' to your post.

No, I was able to upload from my local drive.

Use Browse... on the left, then Add Attachment on the right. See attachment. Then click "Insert into post".

That's what I'm trying to do, but the photo doesn't attach for some reason. I even made sure that I am clicking the "Add attachment" button and nothing happens. The attachment never appears. I've tried many times with the same result.

What size is the file you're trying to attach? And what format is it in? You can try playing around with those...

The photo is 2.81 MB and it's a jpg file. I'll see if I can edit it and if that works.
