I'm sorry for the delay! Can you reply to Velda's email? She has another follow up question that might narrow things down.

Thanks!

I re-exported some of the images (7 in total) from Lightroom (version: 4.1) and re-uploaded the newly exported images to a new post (wanted to keep the other post to compare).

Here's the link: http://jardissimo.org/2012/07/28/la-france-notre-jardin

I have the same issue again... :-(

Thanks for your help.

It appears that at least one of the image files you sent has "exe" in its binary code, which is tripping a security alert on our end that prevents the original files in that post from being displayed. (This is a rare occurrence, and I apologize for the inconvenience.)

Can you try re–exporting the images from Lightroom, remove the images from the current gallery for that post, reupload the newly–exported images to that post, and insert the updated image gallery?

Please let me know how that works for you as I'd like to know if this is an isolated incident.

I do find this curious because I'm also a Lightroom user and haven't come across this yet on my blog. I'm still using Lightroom 3.6, but I hope to upgrade to 4.1 really soon.

Thanks!

I appreciate your patience!

I uploaded the pictures to Dropbox and sent you the link to support [at] wordpress.com.

I'm sorry for my misunderstanding. After clicking the "View full size" link in the image carousel for the first two problematic images, I can see exactly what you're referring to.

I'll take a closer look at this and will be in touch with updates.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out with this.

I'm using the exact same version of Google Chrome as you (21.0.1180.82). I cleared my cache but that doesn't make any difference.

I tried it on Safari and Firefox and there also I'm having the same issue:
- 1st image: not showing in 'view full size' (in carousel showing ok)
- 2nd image: also not showing in 'view full size' (in carousel showing ok)
- 3rd image: showing ok in 'view full size'

I'm almost sure it has nothing to do with the type of browser but more with the actual image file and/or the size of the file.

According to Firefox the first and second images can't be displayed because it contains errors. Image details:
- 1st image: JPEG Image; 0.04 KB (37 bytes); 0px × 0px (scaled to 1440px × 787px)
- 2nd image: JPEG Image; 0.04 KB (37 bytes); 0px × 0px (scaled to 1440px × 754px)
- 3rd image: JPEG Image; 1155.86 KB (1183600 bytes); 2499px × 1944px (scaled to 1011px × 787px)

It looks like it has something to do with the dimensions and scaling of the images. Do you know if there is any limitation in size in order to properly view it in full size (button right under image in carousel)?

- 1st image: View full size 4320×3240
- 2nd image: View full size 2500×1875
- 3rd image: View full size 2499×1944

I used Lightroom to enhance those pictures. Maybe there's something wrong with my settings when I exported the pictures to WP or maybe something went wrong with the rescaling in the media gallery of WP itself?

I'm pretty lost at the moment... :-)

Thanks again for your help.

I viewed the first three images in your gallery with the image carousel and they all load perfectly from my end using Google Chrome 21.0.1180.82.

What browser and version are you using?

Can you try clearing your browser cache, along with an alternate browser, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox (to narrow down a browser issue)?

I'm having an issue with my image gallery: http://jardissimo.org/2012/07/27/la-france-notre-jardin-2

Some pictures appear in full size; some not. Here's an example:

1st image - not showing in full size: http://jardissimo.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/wpid-20120803-yonne-clamecy-bac-fleuri.jpg

2nd image - not showing in full size:
http://jardissimo.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/wpid-20120803-yonne-clamecy-bac-fleuri-2.jpg

3rd image - ok in full size:

Thanks for your feedback!

@scottiechronicles-yes that's also a possibility. I imagine that the site will need to be public for the hotlinking to work correctly, but I haven't experimented yet.

I don't think so.... I searched the forum for "deleting images in the media library" and similar topics and didn't find anything. I did find one closed discussion that wasn't entirely relevant to my needs.

I wouldn't know how to hotlink to a new blog.

YIKES! Didn't mean to upset the apple cart...

Cheers!

Eighteen images are hardly worth the anxiety. If there were 100 unattached images, then I'd say pass the scotch...

I've just noticed that I have 18 "unattached" images in the media library. If I delete these, will that free up some space (until I buy the image upgrade and learn how to do this properly)?

If the "unattached" images are dupes from some of the same images that ARE attached to posts, will they be deleted from the "attached" posts? Logic - my crazy logic - says that if they're unattached, it won't impact my existing post images.

Oh me.

The 10GB space upgrade is 20 bucks a year (approx. three large frappuccinos or so) and from that point on you'll be optimizing them for your posts, right? That 10GB will last you a really, really long time then. http://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

Alternatives are finding external image hosting that allow hotlinking of your images, like flickr, photobucket and the like and then inserting by Image URL. http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/image-links/#link-to-an-image-url

Hopefully someone else will come up with more suggestions.

Obviously, I wouldn't have this problem if I'd been optimizing them (72dpi, 1000px wide and 50-75k each) all along. (You learn something new every day.)

I can't imagine resizing and uploading photos for EACH of nearly 900 posts.

Is there a "quick" way to optimize what's already in my media library? Or, if I've used an image in multiple posts, does it delete from EVERY post if I delete the dupes?

Thanks for any advice.

I have a relatively new blog, and up until recently I have been uploading full (or almost full) size images on my blog. Unwise, I know.

Obviously, my media allotment is getting eaten up quickly. I plan to upload reduced image files going forward, but I'm wondering if there is a way to easily scale down the photos I already have in the media library, or do I have to manually replace each photo in each post with a new, reduced upload? In that same vein, is there a way to insure that the URL is the same as the previous image URL (so that sites that have linked to my image don't get messed up?)

Thanks for your help!
