Pictures dissappeared/error messages

    Pictures of past published blog posts disappeared. Also, error messages come up occasionally, but more and more often, on draft blog I’m working on.

    Hello all,
    Pictures in past published Blog Posts disappeared.
    Also, error messages come up occasionally, but more and more often, on Draft Blog I’m working on.
    Any ideas?

    Hi there,

    I checked the logs and it appears that you deleted some media files about four weeks ago. Do you remember deleting them?

    When media files are deleted from the media library, they stop showing up on the posts/pages where you’ve inserted them as well. That’s expected as all uploaded media files (pictures, etc.) go to the media library.

    I also opened the draft post that you’re working on and did not notice any error messages on my end. Can you tell us what the error message reads?

    Thank you for your response.
    Yes, I was clearing out old pics. Is there any way I can get them back without doing another search and download. Most are from pixabay.
    Also, I have not seen the error message since I changed browser to Chrome.

    That’s what I get for trying to be organized. That’s a lot of pics to retrieve if they can’t be brought back up. :(

    It’s not possible to get them back since deleted files can’t be recovered on free sites. So you’d need to upload and insert the photos again on those posts.
