  I’m currently trying to write a blog about The Sims 4 which requires to post many, many photos. I recently had to remove about 400 pictures from the media library because it wouldnt let me load any more of them. The thing is, as i deleted the pictures from the media storage, they also disappeared from the 38 articles i’d already posted.
  How do I get the pictures back ?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Note that unlike posts, pages, and comments, deletions from your media library are permanent and will not be moved to a trash folder.

  How

  do I get the pictures back ?

  Sorry, you can’t recover it.

  So that means i would have lost some photos at some point no matter what ? Is the storage capacity of the media library a limit to how many pictures we can post on the whole blog ?

  No. You stated in your previous reply that you recently removed about 400 pictures from the media library. That’s the reason why it has disappeared from the posts in which they were being used. Unless you delete the pictures explicitly from the media library, it won’t get deleted.
