Pictures disappeared
-
Hi everyone,
I’m pretty new to wordpress and I’m desperate for some help.
On my older posts, all of my images have disappeared.
They are now showing as an empty box with a small X in the corner.
It also has the name of the .jpeg file inside the box.This has only happened on the first half of my posts. The rest are absolutely fine.
Can anyone help?!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Can you please give a link to a post that is showing the broken images?
Our logs show that about two months ago you deleted a large number of images from your site’s media library. Doing that will also remove the images from any posts where you had added them.
Images that display on a website always has to be hosted somewhere. In WordPress.com’s case, that is in the media library. When you add an image inside a post, all you’re actually adding is a link to where the image is hosted in the media library, and when you view the post in your browser, your browser then goes and fetch the image from there to display it. So it doesn’t work like a word processor where the actual image is added to the document itself, and if you delete the image from the library, there’s nothing at the link included in the post for the browser to display.
It is not possible to restore deleted media files to the library, so you’ll have to re-upload any missing images back to the posts where they are missing.
