My photos are all rightside up, but when I tried to upload them onto local guides posts they appeared upside down.
Can someone help me with this?

SolutionHi @Anonymous,
I would like to suggest you to read the following tips for uploading images on Connect. You could try to use the URL or use the option for HTML instead of the Rich Text Editor. You could try also to edit the size of the image and change the width.
Here are also some advises for you to manage your photos and guidelines to upload.
Landscape or horizontal layout (more wide than tall) will generally look better than portrait or vertical layout.
Please follow the tips and try to upload it again. If the issue still persists, let me know.

Hi @Anonymous
depending of the type of phone, the rotation of the photo is sometime corrected directly by the phone itself, even if the photo is in fact rotated.
A simple way to check and correct the rotation is to use Google Photo:

Yeah, it happened many time with me as well. My “ minus” is I own no android OS devices, only IOS…
I’m harvesting what I sowed.

Thanks for your help.
