  Several of my photos from my blog posts recently vanished. They are nowhere to be found. What happened to them? Some of them were posts all on their own and now all that is left is the title, which is just weird!

  What is the URL of your site and a post with vanished images.

  That image has been taken from the internet and no longer exists, https://scontent.fbru1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/s960x960/10007261_277525612424771_4080152896601937305_o.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_sid=05277f&_nc_ohc=8cM5YCWrv9gAX9zc5k5&_nc_ht=scontent.fbru1-1.fna&_nc_tp=7&oh=236139a57a16fa1cfd996a39b48ac0f1&oe=5EC52C89

  Any idea how I would find out why it’s been removed from ‘the internet’. It was an image that I created. When I put it on my blog, I thought it would be saved somewhere in my wordpress account, but apparently it is no longer there. Or did it simply never get saved there? I would like to understand how this happened, to avoid it in the future.
  Thanks for any information you can provide!

  As you see in the URL that image has never been uploaded to wordpress.com. The only regular way to put an image in your blog, is by using the image block, https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/image-block/ or the Media&text Block, https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/media-text-block/

  Ah, so copy-pasting the images isn’t a legitimate way to post them to WordPress? Because they were on the blog post for many months and only recently vanished.

  If you want to embed an image from facebook, these are the options, https://wordpress.com/support/facebook-integration/facebook-embeds/ keeping in mind that the image has to be publicly visible.
