Title: Media Library missing link Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Media Library missing link * Resolved [t.wiuf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twiuf/) * (@twiuf) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-library-missing-link/) * From one day to an other. All my images went missing. They are still on the server, but cant see them any more. I can see where they sould be but they are not. * In the beginning I had some problems connecting to the database, but that got solved by it self. * I tried deactivating all plugins did’t help. Turning all on again did’t help. * Hope some one can help me.
