External photos won't show up
-
Hi folks =)
I post my photos as a direct link in my blog entry – being hosted at directupload.net. So far everything worked pretty good.
Latest entry as example.

Since yesterday I’m struggling with a new entry. No code, only text and the links to my sharehoster and the images.
https://fallingintoadream.wordpress.com/2015/08/30/tunisia-test/
Last week – when I’ve worked on this entry – everything was fine and the photos showed up. Since yesterday unfortunately, it just shows me the links and not the photos anymore. However if I’m clicking on the links, they show me the photos.
Even if I recover the old entry from last week, the photos won’t show up.
Do you guys have any idea, what I could try to make them appear as in my first blog entry – I’m running out of ideas here :/
my best regards
=)The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Edit: If I look at the second link, it states “Tunisia-Test”. I just named the headline “Tunisia”, instead of “Tunisia-Test”. Is this maybe some kind of test-publish mode, that I’ve accidentally clicked on – where external photos are being switched off ?

I was able to add the first picture from the test link into my test site
Silly question but when you insert media, are you using the Insert from URL on the way left side of the page?
-
You mean as: “Insert/edit link” and then URL?
Yes I just tried that, won’t work. Before the problem appeared, I just had to insert the link, and it show up as in the Sarajevo Posting.
:/

These instructions?
https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/uploading-images/#insert-an-image-from-the-web
in case of still not work – what browser are you using?
-
Aha ! No it seems to work.
So this leads me to some questions:
1.) Why did this problem occur now? It worked normally last week – without inserting the images via “the Insert Media button”.
2.) I can’t enlarge the photos with clicking on them (like here https://fallingintoadream.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/sarajevo/ )
I would love to keep that feature. How can I achieve it again?I’m totally clueless why this happened :/
Many many thanks in advance !

Ok I figured out that if I’m adding a new entry and add the links of the pictures like always before (not via the media button), they show up normally.
It seems, as if the blog entry “tunisia” seems to be alternated somehow, so that hotlinks to external sharehosters won’t show up.
I’m writing it new now, but any ideas why that happened?
-
Why it worked on day and not so well the next time I don’t have a clue
sorry I can’t do much for your other questions, but I have flagged this for the staff to help – they have a good record on things like this – glad things are working a bit better
good luck

Hi, so, I did a little testing. First things first: I still don’t see the images on your latest link.
If I copy and paste your entire post to a test blog, none of the images work for me there, either.
But I wondered if it might be because you’re requesting too many images on one page load. So I cut out about half of the post, and surely enough the images worked then.
You might contact directupload to confirm, but my best guess is that they might have some kind of limit on how many image requests they’ll accept for a single page or post, or you might try splitting this one mega post into some smaller posts. I hope that helps!
