  Hello Ivan!

  Your images will be in your media library unless you deleted them.
  Do you see them here http://ivanvelickovic.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php?

  If you have a gallery added via a widget, maybe the widget might have been removed, but then it will be in the inactive widgets section of WP-Admin and you can check the following link below (this is just a troubleshooting suggestion :-) )

  You can restore the widget to your sidebar via this link:

  I hope some of this helps and you are able to see your images.

  Hello Chelsea!

  I dont see images in my media library. I didnt deleted them, because I had not update my blog since 2012, and I have no change on blog since that. Thats very strange!

  Any additional help would be appreciate!

  Thanks!

  Hi Ivan,

  I have added a MODLOOK tag to your post so a Happiness Engineer can look into this and get to the bottom of the issue :-)

  Thank you @chelseaology :)

  #ivanmcse it appears many of the images were hosted by msacademic.rs and were not uploaded directly to this site. Do you own msacademic.rs, and if so did you make changes to the file structure there?

  If possible, it would be better to upload the images here.

  Thank you @chelseaology and @supernovia

  Now I remember that I was copy images directly from msacademic.rs site. I had the same blog on that site, but that site is Microsoft Serbia property. And site was probably deleted, because they migrated them.

  @supernovia is there some possibility that you can return this images from some backup or something? Any additional help would be appreciated :(

  Unfortunately we don’t keep backups of images on other sites :( Are you able to get in touch with them? If they can put the images back up so they are accessible at the same URL, we can try to import them for you.

  You can also re-add the images manually, by editing each post and uploading the image, if you can get the images to use.

  You can also try googling to see if Google has cached versions of the images.
