Photo Files Broken
-
I looked at my blog and all the photo files seem to be broken. Do I need to delete them and reupload?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This site at http://seekingthegreatadventure.wordpress.com/ has not been updated since December 8, 2016.
I see broken image links in it and wonder if you deleted images from your media library or not.
Please confirm:
the URL of the site in question
and whether or not you deleted images from your media library
or if you hotlinked to images on another site’s servers. -
Where were the missing images hosted?
Were they hosted on another site and did you hotlink to them?
Did you or someone with Admin access to your site delete the images from your media library?
If you are hotlinking to images hosted on servers that are not wordpress.COM servers wherever they are hosted can make sure they do not display so you and your site visitors are not using their bandwidth.
Images and media you upload into your media library and embed into posts and pages are on wordpress.COM servers. They remain visible unless or until you delete them from your media library. Deleting them from your media library also removes them from every place you embedded them in the blog and leaves behind broken links.
Staff cannot restore images you delete from your Media Library. You have to upload them all again, and then fix every broken image link in every post/page it was embedded into previously.
If you upload lots of images you can exhaust that free space allocation quickly. Currently, the only way to get an extra space allocation after you upload the images again, is to purchase an upgrade bundle. https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

Thank you for your help! I did delete these specific images from my media library, but I didn’t know this would happen. Now I do! Thank you again.
