How to make an image transparent in GIMP?
I began with an image with a white background. I pasted it into GIMP and used the magic wand tool to select the white background, like I always have. I then clicked "edit --> clear", once again like I always have. However, instead of making the background transparent, it simply remained white. It has always made the background transparent, but now it just fills it with the background colour. Does anyone know how to fix my predicament?

Right click on the layer in the dock-able dialogue panel, find "Add alpha channel" and click on that. (Or in the menu bar, Layer > Transparency > Add alpha channel.)
Go back to your image and proceed as you did before. The background should be transparent.
To keep it transparent for other uses, you should export it as a .png.
