inserting pictures

  • Unknown's avatar

    Why do I get a message that a picture can’t be used because of security reasons. That has just begun to happen in the past few weeks. They are pictures that are coming from my photos and often are taken right after or before a picture that will download.

  • Hi there,

    What are the URL of the site you’re working on?

    Can you walk me through the steps you’re following to add the picture, and also indicate at which step does the warning appear?

    If possible, please also take a screen shot of the warning, and upload it to your media library at My Site ->Site ->Media, so we can see it.

    I’m using Safari. I use the image button then go to media library and hit import image, as I always do, which takes me to my photos and I choose the photo I want to insert. Then I get this message: UPLOADING

    Okay, here is what I think is happening. When I edit a picture it won’t upload, but if I use one that has not been edited it seems to work. I don’t know that holds true all the time, but when this instance it does. What I did was take a screen shot of both pictures, then inserted both in my media library, took the one that had been rejected, cropped it and inserted it in my post. That worked. But seems the problem may be in how I’m saving the edited picture…or something like that.

    Now, another issue: how to I list a category for my posts. I can’t seem to find that button on the posting site. I found the tags, but not the post.

    I appreciate you helping me with this. The problem with rejecting pictures seemed to have just started in the past couple of weeks.
