    Hi there, you can find any image ID number in your site’s Media Library. You need to access the WP Admin dashboard at yoursite.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ and go to the Media Library. Hover your cursor over the title of the image and in your browser status bar (which needs to be enabled if it is not) you’ll see a long address with the image ID number in it.

    Are you trying to add new images to a slideshow or Gallery? If so, a lot depends on when you created the original.

    If when you go to edit the Gallery slideshow in the HTML/Text Editor tab you only see the following
    [slideshow]
    that means you need to navigate to the Page or Post where the slideshow appears and upload and add the new images directly in the same Page or Post.

    If you go to edit the slideshow in the HTML/Text Editor Tab and you see something like
    [gallery type=slideshow ID=258,259,260,271]
    that means you have a newer Gallery slideshow and can add the new images by following these instructions in the Visual Editor tab: https://en.support.wordpress.com/gallery/#editing-a-gallery-or-slideshow

    Let me know if you need more help with this.
