Hi, I'm having problems with putting privacy settings on my photos that I upload onto my wordpress blog. All the photos I upload go straight on to google images which I can't then remove even when taken down off the blog.
Can anyone help???
The blog I need help with is janeelizabethwest.wordpress.com.
Please check your privacy settings here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/ Have you chosen option 2.?
There is not such thing as making indivdual images "private" in a public blog. You either make the blog private by blocking search engine access or you don't. Once the images have been indexed even if you delete them they will still appear in Google's cache until they flush their caches about every 3 - 6 months.
yes I have done that but I was wondering if there is anyway of taking down the images that are already on google
In this case the answer is "no" there is not. Please read these and know that all search engine issues are between the blogger and the search engine.
