  Hi there,

  I used to have a blog on wordpress.org but a few months ago I migrated it to wordpress.com. Everything went smoothly. However I just found out that some of the pictures I had insterted in some posts weren t shown. It just appeared and X and the name of the pic, by clicking on it you could indeed see the pic but if you didn t click all you could see was that red X.

  I try to pay attention to the names I give to the pictures. I don t write any accents, not unsual characters, and try not to leave empty spaces either. However I found that some pictures had names with empty spaces.

  What can be the cause of this problem and how can I prevent it in future from happening again?

  Thanks

  The broken images in that post are still looking looking for the files on the old server, for example http://www.buenviajesocialclub.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/web22-225×300.jpg

  I recommend re-uploading them in this case.

  Yes, that s what I ve been doing today with most pictures of several posts. However I just do not why it happened. Is it due to the change from wordpress.org? Could it be just because I ve started using a new theme?
  Thanks

  It’s because the previous images were referencing the domain of your self–hosted (WordPress.org) blog.

  Since you’ve mapped the buenviajesocialclub.com domain to your WordPress.com blog, all those references are now broken (as you can see).

  I see, Ok, that explains why I had all those links broken. I thought by importing the content of my wordpress.org blog every thing was solved.

  Thanks

  I am sorry but by re-uploading the pics you mean to re-upload them in the different posts from the wordpress gallery or to reupload them first from my computer into the gallery and then into the post.

  Thank you

  Re–upload the pictures for each post from your computer directly into the post from the Edit Post screen with the Add Media button.

  However, if you find that they do exist in the Media Library of your WordPress.com blog (not the self–hosted one), from the Add Media button (while on the Edit Post screen), you can go to the Media Library tab and insert the picture from there.
