  Hello, for a while I have noticed that when I upload images onto my WordPress.com blog, they upload fine. Then about a day after when I come back to the post- in a post of about 8 images, about 1 or none will show up- instead all I see are blank wide rectangles with ‘????????????????????’ text where my images should be.
  Pls see what I mean via this link- https://myfashionslashlife.wordpress.com/2014/12/17/what-did-you-wear-to-maki-ohs-photography-exhibition/

  I upload images on my WordPress.com blog using the large- 529 x 705 option, and my images are 3000 x 4000/2MB.

  I’d be very grateful for your assistance with this problem as it is affecting the visual impressions and content of my blog.

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Have you changed the URL of that blog? Several people have reported a bug where the images disappear because they’re on the old, deleted URL when they change URLs.

  Thanks for your response.
  No I did not change the URL.
  Is changing my URL my only option for this problem?
  The below link suggests that if I do, I will lose my old address which will mean my hits, links etc will reduce drastically-

  DO NOT CHANGE YOUR BLOG ADDRESS.

  Did you delete images from your media library?

  Do you already have images with those filenames?

  I have deleted a couple of images from my media library but this problem was happening before I began deleting images from my library.
  i dont understand what you mean when you ask- ‘do you already have images with those filenames’.
  My images are saved in Pictures on my laptop and I do not save any images on my blog, Media Library traps them when they are uploaded from my laptop to the blog.

  Is there any other possibility (apart from a bug) why some of my pics show as ‘???????’ in my blog posts?

  Deleting images from the media library removes them from posts as well.

  Ok, but the images showing ‘????????’ have not all been deleted. i.e a lot of images show ???????- that are still present in the Media Library- in that case is there any other reason why some of the images in posts are not showing?
