Title: Missing Image Links Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Missing Image Links * [venialvox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/venialvox/) * (@venialvox) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-image-links/) * Hi, I recently migrated my wordpress.com blog to a self-hosted one at [http://rachelay.me](http://rachelay.me). * I have many broken image links that plug-ins like Search-and-Replace and Velvet Blues don’t seem to fix. For example here: [http://www.rachelay.me/football-fish-and-fine-art/](http://www.rachelay.me/football-fish-and-fine-art/) * If you look at the image URL of one photo in there for example, [http://i0.wp.com/rachelay.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/20140112-img_9254.jpg](http://i0.wp.com/rachelay.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/20140112-img_9254.jpg) doesn’t work, but [http://rachelay.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/20140112-img_9254.jpg](http://rachelay.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/20140112-img_9254.jpg) does. * What’s causing this and how can I fix it? Your help is much appreciated.

Do you have any suggestions? * Many thanks! * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-image-links/#post-5524836) * _*Looks at [http://www.rachelay.me/2012/06/25/football-fish-and-fine-art/](http://www.rachelay.me/2012/06/25/football-fish-and-fine-art/) says “Gee, that’s a nice theme.”*_ * Looks like you are using Jetpack’s Photon option. Can you try disabling that option in your dashboard? Just Photon and nothing else. * I want to see if it returns to normal once you do that. * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-image-links/#post-5524838) * Also as a side note: [@hkumi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hkumi/) can you please post your own topic if you need support? * [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform) * Thread Starter [venialvox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/venialvox/) * (@venialvox) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-image-links/#post-5524855) * Hey Jan, you’re amazing. It works as a quick fix so my site isn’t down. * Should I turn Photon back on, though? Also, the links to the images still say wordpress.com instead of my own domain. Any suggestions? * Thanks 🙂 * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-image-links/#post-5524858) * > Should I turn Photon back on, though? * See how it goes. 😉 There may be a bump in Photon but if there is then I’m sure that that will not last long. * > Also, the links to the images still say wordpress.com instead of my own domain. > Any suggestions? * If you have a full file and database back up then consider doing a search and replace in your database. * For example: * [http://rachelay.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/20140112-img_9254.jpg](http://rachelay.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/20140112-img_9254.jpg) * and * [http://www.rachelay.me/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/20140112-img_9254.jpg](http://www.rachelay.me/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/20140112-img_9254.jpg) * Both work for me. * So you should be able to search through your database and replace all of these * ``` http://rachelay.files.wordpress.com ``` * With this * ``` http://www.rachelay.me/wp-content/uploads ``` * BUT make sure you have that database backup and know how to restore it if you have to. That way if something goes awry then you can put the database back as it was before you made any changes.
