Images held offsite, linked by URL
-
Hi, I’ve not been using WordPress for a while, just returned. Is it no longer possible to show images just by linking to a URL (e.g. to google photos) or is there a workaround? I have years worth of posts with images that no longer work!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It should work; have you tried these instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/#insert-an-image-from-the-web
Can you give an example of an image you’re having trouble with?

Hi jqubed,
Thanks, but that’s not what I’m trying to do. Those instructions are for images uploaded to WordPress (and thus taking up the tiny storage capacity they provide if you’re not paying).I simply want to connect to images held elsewhere (google, Flickr) so that they appear in the post, not as a link.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Sorry for the delayed response, and that no one else responded.
I just tried pasting the address to an offsite image directly into the Visual Editor and it immediately loaded in. If you need to get fancier, standard HTML in the HTML editor works also. For example:
<img style="max-width: 100%;" src="http://i.imgur.com/GH5zkVH.jpg" /> -
