There are no stats that reveal how many times images are viewed. Only page views are recorded.

Tracking in what way?

Is there any upgrade for tracking statistics for uploaded images?
If not, is there a way to do this on wordpress.org?

You're in wrong place. In fact you're not hosted here on WordPress.com Go to http://wordpress.org/support and ask your question there. We don't have any access to FTP here on wordpress.com. See this to know the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org

I was creating a new blog entry on our server, where we self host WordPress. We have the latest verison of WordPress.

I was in the dashboard and inserted 3 SMALL file sized images about 80 KB each. I used the upload feature of the Dashboard, and it showed the % complete bar got o 100%, so I know it confirms uploading the photos.

But they don't show up in my blog, just broken image links. I tried it using both Explorer 9 and Firefox 10.0.2, and the same thing each time, the Dashboard says it uploaded the pics but they are not there.

When we check in the dashboard under MEDIA > LIBRARY we can see the 3 photos and details listed there, but the thumbnails ar enot showing up.

I have read these forums and it 50% of the time people solve this by changing their permissions on the upload directory to 7-5-5. Ours was already set tot hat, so were fine on permissions.

The other 50% of the time, people solve this in the dashboard by going to SETTINGS > MEDIA and in the "Uploading Files" section there is a field that says "Store uploads in this folder". We made sure the field already says this: wp-content/uploads with no quotes, no leading slashes or anything else. I know other people reported problems by having a leading slash.

As far as we are concerned, it should be all systems go, but yet it does not work.

So,,, we looked opn our server using FTP, and saw the images were not in the wp-content/uploads directory! We then FTP'ed the 3 images directly to the wp-content/uploads directory on our server, and that got the images to show up in our blog! Now the thumnails are showing up in the MEDIA > LIBRARY of the Dashboard.

My question is, why is WordPress showing the images upload with the progress completion bar, but then not putting the files there? This is very perplexing.

Well I can't even begin to figure it out on my own, unlike angeleneelfthesecond, and justjennifer's explanation is like Greek to me.
How do I do it?

@whitneywooyy - http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/#gallery-shortcode

Use "Includes" and you must write the Gallery shortcode in the HTML Editor of your Post or Page.

Hi everyone,

Would anyone be able to assist me in knowing how to create a Gallery from previous uploaded Images? Is there anyway you can create a Gallery without necessarily uploading Images again?

I can't find other solutions through the Support Forums - I have researched each link to find an answer and still can't. I would really appreciate the help:)

It isn't possible to upload a new file with the exact same URL at WordPress.com even if you wait for the file to be deleted. This is because of how the servers are setup to manage files across several data centers and different resources. I'm afraid you will need to send a new URL in this case.

okay, that's good. but i guess it still doesn't change the adding of a number when i upload the updated pdf with the same file name...
that's too bad...

When I click on that link I get "404 — File not found" which means it is now gone from the servers.

Where is the link? The link itself will not disappear as an image would.

Thanks so much for your help...

If you delete the old file, wait 12 or 24 hours and then upload the new file, wordpress could have "packed" the database by then and it would not rename the file. That of course would mean there would be a period of time when the link would be dead probably.

Thanks for your answer...i was afraid of that...
my problem is that i've already sent out the original file URL to many contacts and i don't want to have to resend the new link. i guess it's a lesson learned on my part.
Thanks again!

With as many blogs as wordpress.COM has, and as huge as their databases are, there can be a lag between deleting something and when it actually disappears. It all depends on server loads. Also, since wordpress is database driven, you have to understand that databases do not immediately delete items. They "mark" them for deletion and then bulk delete on a scheduled basis typically. What schedule wordpress has I do not know. Typically once something is "marked" for deletion, it will disappear from your media library and from your blog, but the file actually is still there for a while after that.

WordPress will not overwrite existing files, so if the file has actually not been physically deleted, but is just marked for deletion in the database, and you upload another file with the same name, wordpress will append a number onto the end of the file name.

Upload the new file, get the URL of that newly uploaded file, and then update the link in your post or page to the new file URL.

http://bordenblog.wordpress.com/

i'm trying to overwrite a file url from a pdf i uploaded and have deleted. the link still works (http://bordenblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/all-you-need-to-know-about-packing-lunches-but-were-afraid-to-ask.pdf), even though that file no longer exists in my media library.

I am trying to load an updated version of the file but have the same link url. Everytime i upload a new file a number is added to the end of the file name. I NEED to overwrite the first upload as i have already sent this link to many, many people! Is this possible?

Please help! Thanks!!
