  Hi, I just posted for the first time and none of my pictures are showing up nor can I edit the post to change the image size. Can you help and maybe provide some guidelines so this doesn’t happen in the future? What size do images need to be to show up for everyone? Thank you!

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

  Hi flexhappy,

  Let me take a look at this for you.

  It seems that your images are not being hosted on WordPress. Are you uploading your images to https://wordpress.com/media and then using the links provided there for your posts? You can grab the image URL by selecting the image and then clicking on the Edit button next to “Add New”. You can also directly insert stored media files while editing a post by clicking on the plus right below the title while in the post editor.

  Please see here some documentation for adding images to posts or pages

  Let me know if this resolves your issue ^^

  Hi, thank you for the quick response. Can I edit this on my already published post?

  You most definitely can! Go to posts(https://wordpress.com/posts/) and select the post you would like to edit.

  I thought the edit button would be there on the post before I clicked into it as opposed to it being a little button on the bottom of the preview but I did eventually find it. Thank you for your help!
