  I wanted to upload more photos, but I was reaching my upload limit, so I deleted some photos from m media library, and they disappeared from a post they were in. What does a user do when they’ve reached their upload limit but want to continue posting photos? Quite frustrated now. I have to figure out which photos were in the post and re-upload them. Thanks.

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

  Hi boughtaonewayticket,

  You could get the Extra Storage Upgrade.

  Also, have you tried to optimize your images?

  We are just getting started but have already used up 16% of our media allownace. I tried downsizing the photos using the WordPress editor and they were a fraction of their original size but the storage space used went up! This seems to be because the system keeps the original large version and gives you the option of reverting to it. I want to delete the originals but there seems to be no option to do so – or is there?
