  • Add topic to favorites

  I am trying to add a media file from URL, I enter the url and I get a green tick. I then enter the image title and no matter what I put in there the red cross stays. And thus I cant upload the file.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi. It’s been 4 days so I don’t know if your problem was solved or not.

  Here’s the opinion of a WordPress.com staff explaining why you shouldn’t hotlink (what you were trying to do, and what you are doing on your blog):

  Also, some servers do not allow hotlinking, so that may have been the problem:
