  my images have vanished
  my headers still there, and so is the writing that went with each of my image posts but the images aren’t there. They aren’t in my media library either which I was told they should be. I haven’t changed anything so I’m not sure what’s gone wrong.

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

  The images are not in your media library either? You may have been hacked.

  1) immediately change your EMAIL password, as that’s the way most hackers get in.

  2) then change your WP.com password.

  3) can you check your media library and see which files have been deleted? Is it all of them prior to today, or just some?

  I just checked your account, and I see that your username has been deleting images. Please change your email password and your WordPress.com password as suggested immediately.

  Glad to hear it!

  You may want to change up your email and WordPress.com password from time to time.

  Best of luck!
