Why so little photo storage space on my website?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have a question about storage space on my WordPress site, http://www.franksfaves.com. I launched my blog site in December and have posted a new Frank’s Faves blog every week since then. Several weeks ago, I apparently ran out of storage space for movie photo images in my media library, as it would not let me upload new images until I deleted enough images to create more memory. However, after deleting some photos from previous posts to make room for new ones, I discovered that those images subsequently disappeared from the posts I’d linked them, too. This is a major problem for my website as my blog is about movies and not being able to post pictures greatly diminishes its quality. How do I resolve this issue without incurring added expenses? I’ve tried to using Google Photos as an alternative storage site and inserting links to those photos, but all that appears in the blog post where the photos should go is the URL, not the image. Please direct me to the appropriate resource to help me resolve this. As it is, I’m quite dissatisfied with the memory limitations of my existing media library, which I evidently exceeded in only a couple months. Am I doing something wrong? Please advise!

    The amount of storage capacity available on your site is something you’ll need to take up with Bluehost who are the ones hosting your site. You’re posting into the support forum for free sites that are hosted at WordPress.com. You can register an account at the correct forum for the software your site uses here:

    PS: You should optimize images for the web before uploading them to your site to maximize storage space. Images need to remain in your Media Library so they’re on your site to be available to display in your posts.
