  Hello!

  My pictures were in my posts before I changed the theme. Why aren’t they showing up now?how do I correct this?

  Change can be a pain for sure!

  I looked at your page, and the first post had no photo, but what looked like a photo URL from your Media Library.

  When i clicked on it i got this: https://cl.ly/3B3k2G232S2w

  It is possible that at some point the file was either renamed or deleted in your Media Library. If you still have the photos somewhere, try re uploading them.

  Thanks for the memories of Governors Island – i went to a few schools there when i was in the Coast Guard.

  best,
  dave

  Thanks Dave and thank you and God bless you for your service in the Coast Guard . My brother was in the army stationed at Fort Dix, so you can see how old I am , lol! Anyway I’m going to try not to delete the pictures from my media library, because I have an idea that’s why pictures weren’t showing up. Thanks for keeping an eye on the site. I actually like the way it looks and I’m going to go back to the other posts and upload the pictures again .

  Thank you, and you are most welcome, and if we can be of any more help, do ask!

  An additional thing to keep in mind, if you are not on one of the paid plans, is that photos can rapidly take up all the space is your Media Library. WordPress has an excellent article about how you can decrease the size of your images without compromising the quality.
