  Hello!
  I posted the blog post at 2:30 pm India time. I received a like too on that post. It had images of cake I baked. But in the evening when I looked at the post the images were missing. Almost as if someone took them away. Can you tell me what could be the reason? It wasnt a download issue for sure. I could see the images were missing.
  Kindly let me know. Thanks.

  I too now. But it was deleted when I checked the post just 15 minutes back. I had put the images when I posted it. So how and why were the image deleted? Why I had to upload them again? Is there a way to see the log of what happened to that post between the time I posted and when I checked it 3 to 4 hours later?

  Hi there!

  You can check your post revisions from here:

  https://stormylakes.wordpress.com/wp-admin/revision.php?revision=1047.

  Have you uploaded those images directly to your media library, or were they linked from another service, like Google Photos or similar?

  Hello!
  I uploaded those images directly to the media library. When I made original post the images were visible. In the evening when I checked again the images were not there.
  Sorry I could not understand the revision clearly. The left hand side says removed and right says added. What does that mean? Everything on the left is removed or just the colored highlighted parts? Normally colored highlighted part suggests the parts that are different in two revisions. I don’t know how to understand the revision you sent with ease! I dragged the timestamps from slider at the top, not to much use. Please help me! Thanks.

  Hi there,

  Only the highlighted parts are removed or added, not the rest of your content.

  As far as the disappearing of your images, I don’t see anything that might’ve removed them automatically. For now, they show up correctly, and if they are removed again let us know.

  Updating as resolved. They should ideally have a timestamp on the left side to say what is happening when. It is not a good user interface. Anyway. Thanks.

  Just wanted to update that I realized I did change the post date/time after publishing the original post. That might have caused the issue. While reading 404 page not found on WordPress reasons, I came across that viewpoint. That could be a possibility. Isn’t it?
