First of all, sorry for my late reply, two busy days at work, so no time for blog (and thus hobby) related stuff ??

@sterndata : see, that’s the strange thing about it. I didn’t change a thing, but all of a sudden they’re back again. I just can’t rely on my pictures being visible or not… I’ll check out your suggestion if I find another post where the pictures aren’t visible; at this moment they “all” (or at least the first 15) seem ok.

@jnashhawkins: thanks for the tip, that looks really great!

Today I talked with somebody about it and she told me that apparently Google changes the URL of google photos regularly, which of course explains why they all of a sudden disappear, even if they were visible immediately after publishing. Why they would do that and why the pictures sometimes (as in the linked post) apparently return to the “old” link is beyond me… But anyway, she suggested using the Album Archive, since those links are definitive. I’m definitely going to check out the above mentioned suggestions to work with the media library again, but linking to the album archive would at least allow me to fix old posts without having to upload all those pictures to the media library. Still hoping that fixes it completely, since I’ve also had the problem with the media library (though less often), but we’ll see if and why that happens when it happens ??

Thanks for the help!

Sorry if I misunderstood; it seemed you were just laughing with the long URLs and immediately pushing the problem away from this forum.
The ones I have in the Media Library are this size: https://domainname.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/picturename.jpg
So no issues with long file names or image file extension there, but the problem still remained, which is why I quit using the media library again (if only it would have the possiblity to have different folders and subfolders, so I can more easily find pictures back if I want to insert them in a second/third post…). But anyway, reasons why I don’t like the Media library are not relevant here, since the issue remains, whether I import them from there (short url, file extension) or from Google.

Since no solution is offered (or not one that helps me in any way, because as I said before: I have the problem as well when I put my pictures directly in the WordPress Media Library, so how is that not a WordPress issue?) I want the start post edited, so my links can be removed.

Hi Jonas,

Looking forward to the new version in that case! ??

Hi Yurifari,

first of all thanks for making this plugin! As I didn’t know there was only one import possible, I imported all my blogposts some time ago as a try-out, but continued to work on my blogger-blog untill I had finished the layout of the wordpress one. As I tried to do an import of these new blogs, I noticed the plugin didn’t do anything, so I thought that removing all the thus far imported Posts would make him “realise” there were new things to import, but off course now I don’t have any blogs imported neither can I “redo” the import. Removing the plugin and installing it again doesn’t fix it either, so I would be extremely grateful if you could add the option of continuing an import.

Thanks for your help!
