  Hi there
  I’ve been searching the support thread but can’t figure out what the heck is wrong. The slideshow that used to be on my page is gone altogether and almost all of my images say “this photo is unavailable”. I have cleared my cache, history and my browser is up to date. It was fine one day and then now this? I’m not super computer saavy so I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing? I am on a macbook and use safari as my browser.

  I typically upload my pics from lightroom using their plugin. Then I upload from Flickr using the share button, BBC and medium size.

  Please help as I am starting a new blog hop this week and would like visitors to be able to see my site.
  thanks

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

  Please paste the URL of your blog when asking questions here. Or, better, make your username link to your blog (Users > Personal Settings: scroll down to Account Details, paste blog URL in the Website field, click Save Changes).

  and thanks for the information about my user settings:) All fixed up now.
  I also forgot to mention that the preview slideshow is also not working? Not sure why?

  a) If Flickr says the images are unavailable, that’s a Flickr issue, not a WP issue.

  b) The Modularity Lite slideshow works with images uploaded to your blog and inserted in your latest posts, not with images hosted elsewhere; and the images have to be in specific dimensions. See here:

  thank you! Any advice on where to go for help with flickr then?

  I will look at those links, but the slideshow used to work without me doing it any different?! Weird.

  You can locate the Flickr site address by using Google search and contact them for support.

  I am having a similar problem where none of my images are showing up. They aren’t from Flickr but ones I have uploaded on my own.

  I had this FLickr issue and it turned out that when I was uploading, I’d set the safety to Moderate. If you do that, only signed-in Flickr users can see them. I ended up deleting the whole set and re-uploading with SAFE as the settings.
