Embedded Images are Blank White Spaces
-
For every Getty Image I used in my most recent post, they all turned into blank white squares. I tested this on three computers, and the result is the same on all three, so I can only assume it’s GettyImages, or my blog itself.
The images show up fine when I paste the embed text in the text editor and then look at them in the visual editor. As soon as I hit preview or publish, however, they disappear.
I have GettyImages embedded in my previous post, and they work just fine. It’s only when I tried to use some today that it stopped working.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It seems the embed tags copied from GettyImages are not automatically changing to the wordpress format. I had to edit the tags myself to get them to work.
For anyone else who is having this problem, I solved it by using the wordpress GettyImages tag.
[getty src="A long string of numbers goes here" width="Number of pixels" height="Number of pixels"]
To get the correct numbers that go with your image that you want to link, you have to look at the embed code. There will be a link that looks something like this:
That number at the end is the string of numbers you put in after getty src. Then look at the size of the image in the code as well. It should say height and width in there somewhere.

Hi @nathanratkos,
Thanks for following up with a fix. Just to confirm, too, were you using these instructions before?
https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/getty-images/The embed code should have automatically converted for you. You should also be able to embed by simply pasting a link to the image.
