Lesson Learned!

Did you know we should not delete images from the library in our Word Press files? Surly not the ones we have used on pages and in posts!

Of all the things discussed here- that is one I missed the warning about!

So in a time of feeling the need to be productive, and not really do anything, I "cleaned out the image files" thinking that they had been used, and to prevent over use, I would simply discard them! Wrong Move! Took 2 days to get all the broken links repaired! And so unnecessary!

So, all who did not know that this was a no no, It is! For those who knew this would be the result of the deleting, hope you appreciated the chuckle at my expense!

Just another little tidbit from a slow learner!

Hope your day is productive!

Sami

I wanted to let everyone know before I completed the correction, but waited till it was finished as I wanted to make sure.

I for one did not know that. I rarely delete images and some WordPress sites have bunches of images... Good to know thank you for the information.

Mark,
Yes I can laugh today! The older posts that I took a bit of time on are more ready for visitors. The learning curve!

Looking back and laughing is the easy bit Sami but maybe at the time it doesn't seem so funny!!

I am laughing with you...not at you :-)
Thank you for the heads up!
