photos not loading

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have added photos to my posts from my media library as well as copying/pasting, and dragging them from a folder on my computer. At first, they showed up fine and I could see them in the posts, even from my phone. Today, all of a sudden, when I was trying to edit a post, I noticed almost all the images were missing and some had a small gray broken computer symbol by them. I’ve tried removing, replacing, restarting my computer, clearing my browser cache, etc. and I can’t get them to show back up. Why could I see them before and not now?

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

    Are you referring to images that were uploaded into your site?

    Do you locate the images in your Media Library at
    http://2brightblondeteacherscom.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php

    Have you removed images from your Media Library?

    Or are you referring to images hosted on someone else’s servers that you hot linked to? If you are referring to hotlinked images then the site hosting them could have removed your ability to link to them and use up their bandwidth.

    Additional information:

    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/
