  Hi!

  Almost have my first post up, but for some reason 3 pictures I inserted into the post don’t show up when I view the page from the public url. However, the pictures do show up in preview mode. Has anyone run into this problem before?
  I’d appreciate your advice, so far you’ve all helped me so much!

  Thanks,
  DR

  Others have experienced this as well and it was a problem with the routers their ISP was using. Are your using Verizon or Plusnet?

  No, I’m using earthlink/timewarner cable. I deleted the pictures and re-inserted them and that seems to have worked. The only problem is one of the pictures will not enlarge when it’s clicked. When clicked it just gives an error message 404 “file not found”.

  Any thoughts?

  “404” page not found means it’s not in your Media Library when the browser calls the server and asks for it to be displayed. Please check the Media Library and locate the image and check the size.

  Hmmm. When you say media library, do you mean the gallery? Well I purpose took it out of the gallery so it wouldn’t show up on the slideshow that is also inserted into the post. Also the other photo that is inserted on it’s own isn’t in the gallery and does enlarge when clicked on, so given that it seems like it would be a different issue?

  Great thanks so much! I’ll try adding the images to the media gallery and see if that helps. Thank you all for being so helpful to the new kid in town. :)

  Hmmmm.sorry I spoke too soon. I just tried again.

  I have added the picture files to the media library but they are still not showing in the post, though they do show in the preview.

  Any other thoughts on what I can try?

  OK, phew…figured out I needed to “attach” the image from the media library.

  Thank you & goodnight!
