Why have my photos disappeared?

    For the past couple of weeks, several of the images in my most recent posts have disappeared — there is nothing but a bos with a red “X” in it. However, if I log in to my account, I can see the images. This should not be — I WANT my readers to see these images!

    Stranger still, when I click on one of those empty boxes with the red “X” I get a message saying that I have to be logged into see the image. However, when I look in the Media Library to see if there is some sort of tag on the photo that “locks” it, I see nothing that would indicate it should not be visible to the general public.

    Up until a couple of weeks ago I was able to see all the images. I want them back. Please help? Thank you.

    This is happening because the images are inserted from another one of your blogs, a blog that is private. The URLs for those images that don’t load while logged out are all ranaesantafe.files.wordpress.com…

    This means that they load for you while logged in but when logged out the images are blocked since they’re connected to a private site.

    For them to load on your public site you’ll want to upload them at Media > Add New instead of just using the same image URL.
