My images have disappeared off of individual posts.
-
I need to make sure each image remains on the appropriate post.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello Marian – I am a volunteer and perhaps I can help.
Can you recall the last step you took before your images disappeared?
Did you change your theme by any chance? (some themes display featured images and some do not)
Did you recently change hosts or servers?
-
Thanks so much for responding.
No, no changes.
I recently switched to this wordpress address when I stopped having someone else host my site. My son-in-law moved everything to this url. Everything was intact. Then today, I added a new post. That’s when I discovered my photos do not appear when I open the pages…except for the ones I reentered.I just hate to go back and reenter every photo if they are going to disappear again because of something I am doing wrong. Gosh, I hate being so computer illiterate!!

You’re welcome, Ruth (sorry I got your name wrong!) –
I understand how you feel! There has to be a way to avoid manually adding each image again.
My hunch is that the URL paths to the images are pointing to the old location. Can you help me verify this by making a post or page live on your site for me to look at the image paths?

Thanks, Cat.
Here is an example: https://thememoryforever.wordpress.com/2015/08/16/the-old-fishing-net/
A block shows up that says “Photo 2”. If you press on it, the image shows up. Before this problem, all images automatically appeared.

So if you right click on where the image should be and choose, Open Image in New Tab (in Chrome) – you will see that this is the URL for the image:
Does this look correct to you?
-
Nothing comes up for me when I click on the image box and nothing when I click on your link.
-
Same for me now, though when I first tried it, an image came up.
It could be possible that there is a DNS change or a domain mapping change that is still propagating. However, since I am a volunteer, I do not have access to your account to look into whether or not this could be at play.
How long ago did the site get moved?
-
It was moved almost one month ago. I used to pay someone about $100 a year to take care of my site. But I had to do all my own updates. I was also spammed so bad and got really discouraged. I quit writing.
Our son-in-law moved everything for me when my contract was up. There are a couple more problems on my page. Maybe I understand now why some people pay a fee to host their sites.
Perhaps, I should just reenter all images to see if they stay on the post. I did that this morning for two pages.

OK so it’s not a propagation issue. The way I see it, you have 3 options:
You could re-enter all the images.
You could also wait for a Happiness Engineer or someone else in the community to respond to this post.
And your third option would be to upgrade your plan to the $99/year premium version to get direct email support.
Hope this helps!

you could also explore using this plugin:
https://wordpress.com/plugins/better-search-replace/to repair the url paths to your images.

I will try that!
And by the way, as I work on my images, I will be listening to your beautiful music!! I am a piano teacher and music fills our home!

Hello marianpackard!
I checked your account and site, but didn’t find the issue with the images. Let us know if you still having this problem and how we can help. :)
-
Thank you, Carina!
I am in the process of adding all of the images back on the pages. Perhaps you saw the pages I’ve already completed. The original posts still have no images. It’s just taking me a while!

marianpackard, could you, please, send us the link to a page that still have this issue? Then I can take a better look at this.

marianpackard, I see… I’m going to send an email to the address associated with your WordPress.com account, then we can proceed with your situation. Please post here if you don’t receive it.
