I can’t insert pictures from Picasa Web Albums.
-
Happy New Year, everyone!
I am having trouble with inserting pictures already uploaded in my Picasa Web Albums into my WordPress.com posts.
These are the steps I’ve taken:
1. I selected ‘Add an Image’ button from ‘Upload/Insert’ in my WordPress post.
2. I selected ‘From URL’ tab.
3. I copied the picture’s Link from ‘Link to this Photo’ in Picasa Web Albums.
4. I pasted it into the ‘Image URL’ box in WordPress.
5. A red cross appears next to the ‘Image URL’ box, which means WordPress didn’t like what I did for some reason, and the ‘Insert into Post’ button at the bottom is not possible to be clicked on.Would anybody know what is going on please?

I am having a similar problem. Even when the inserted image is accepted (green checkmark), it may well disappear soon thereafter from my post. I’ve emailed WordPress about this, they claim the problem is with Picasa, but I don’t think so since I do not have this problem with other fora where some of these images are also inserted in posts. The problem for me started in late December…

A work around is to save the picture to your hard drive, rename it, and import it into your post from your hard drive.

I found a solution (for Windows XP).
Instead of Step 3 above, right-click on the picture > select ‘Copy Image Location’ > paste it into the ‘Image URL’ box in WordPress.
The same solution is found in my post:
