Don’t know why, but I can’t seem to be able to post photos on pelican

Problem started a few weeks ago. I use the window to upload a photo from my photo library, it doesn’t even show the link in the thread and the photo doesn’t appear! Any good suggestions? And yes, the photo is less than 5 MB in size.

What is the extension of one of the photos that you're trying to upload? Lots of places seem to have started using other file formats, png, webp, etc..., and PP does not support those as uploads.

The only times that I've ever had an issue are 1 file too large, 2 odd filenames (spaces?), and 3 wrong file format (png, webp, etc...)

Stick with jpg or gif and simple file names and you should be good to go.

That was the problem! For some reason iPhone has decided to start saving photos primarily in PNG. I had to go to my settings to change it back to JPG. Thanks!

A slight edit to the photo or screenshot will change the file from png to jpg.
