Vanishing Images from Older Posts
-
When I look back at some of my older blog posts from a few months ago, the images that I had used are gone — in their place remains only the descriptions and captions. Anyone know why? I did delete some photos from the library . . . but I assumed that once I uploaded photos into the blog post itself, it shouldn’t matter whether they were still ‘saved’ in the library.
Thanks!

Important note:
Images and media you upload into your media library and embed into posts and pages are on wordpress.COM servers. They remain visible unless or until you delete them from your media library. Deleting them from your media library also removes them from every place you embedded them in the blog and leaves behind broken links.Staff cannot restore images you delete from your Media Library. You have to upload them all again, and then fix every broken image link in every post/page it was embedded into previously.
If you upload lots of images you can exhaust that free space allocation quickly. Currently, the only way to get an extra space allocation after you upload the images again, is to purchase an upgraded plan. https://wordpress.com/pricing/

Please check https://thereluctantbridesite.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php to see whether or not you have exceeded the free space requirement.

Thank you; I understand now. Sigh — guess I have my work cut out for me re-loading all the images! :-/

Sorry but you either upload them all again or you purchase an upgraded plan. https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/
WordPress.com Personal includes another 3 GB of extra storage, for a total of 6 GB.
WordPress.com Premium includes another 10 GB of extra storage, for a total of 13 GB.
WordPress.com Business includes unlimited storage space. -
If I buy an upgraded plan — which I will probably need to do anyway because I do use a lot of photos — will I still need to re-load all of the images from previous posts?
Thank you for your prompt response!

OK I just purchased the Personal plan. Pleasantly surprised by the price! Hopefully that will be enough space for now. Thanks again for your help.
