Troubleshoot missing images or media
Fix broken profile photos, placeholder media, blocked files, and public media issues.
Overview
Media issues usually come from upload limits, unsupported file types, placeholder links that still need replacement, or private images that cannot be loaded publicly.
Check uploads
Key points
- Use common web image formats such as JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF.
- Compress large images before uploading.
- Avoid images with private or temporary URLs.
- Confirm the upload finished before generating or publishing.
- Refresh the editor after replacing placeholder media.
Check generated placeholders
Key points
- Open the placeholder assistant if available.
- Replace obvious placeholder images, audio, video, and links.
- Use manual editing for precise media swaps.
- Publish again after media changes are saved.
Do not publish private media
Review screenshots and files for private data before publishing a site publicly.
