Hi
Can anyone help please?
Images that I upload from flickr are visible at the time of loading but when I log in again, they are unavailable.
This problem has only started to happen recently.
Regards
Poppy :)
The blog I need help with is poppy6.wordpress.com.
Are you uploading them to your blog, or just hotlinking from Flickr? Can we get a link to a post where this is happening and the exact code you're using?
Thanks for getting back to me.
I am using the "copy image address" to upload the images from flickr to pages on my blog. I use the "add media" facility in WordPress.
This is the page where I'm having problems.

I have no idea what code I'm using but this is what I would paste into add media http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7228/7229943618_381b1de2e8_z.jpg
All has worked well in the past.
Hope that makes sense, I am code etc illiterate LOL
That's odd. And you've double-checked your Flickr settings so that they're embeddable? I have to ask these questions.
Settings seem fine.
One thing, I have my blog mostly on private as well as my flickr images. Although this has not been a problem before.
If your Flickr images are private, they cannot be displayed on your blog, for obvious reasons.
Thanks for your reply.
I agree about privacy. It's odd that most of the other content on my blog has come from private flickr images and they are still visible.
Many thanks for your help. I'll try having flickr images public when uploading and change them to private after they are on my blog.
Cheers :)
That won't work. They have to be public or, even if YOU can see them, nobody else can.
