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!

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.
Glad that you received the warning before making the move. Just a lesson in learning!

Sorry to hear that Sami but at least you can have a laugh about it now you've sorted it out.

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!!
