Does anyone know if the photos from the old lds.org website will be transferred to the new.lds.org website?

The last I heard, they were not.
Have you searched the Help Center? Try doing a Google search and adding "site:churchofjesuschrist.org/help" to the search criteria.

Here's a fairly definitive answer from a Church employee working on the project:

cannot edit profile to remove picture

I am the ward website administrator.

One of the pictures I uploaded was not for the correct person. The counselor in the bishopric approved it (by mistake) but now when I try to edit the profile of the person to the picture, a message appears stating "Sorry, data is temporarily not available for this application. Please try again later". This has been going on for about a week now. Any suggestions?

You might try going into "Manage Photos" and see if you can delete the photo that way.

I apologize if this is the wrong thread, but I have a related photo issue. In the new lds.org site for my ward (Elm Creek, Tulsa Oklahoma East Stake) in the Directory app, the Photo link lists 1 photo awaiting approval. When I click on the link nothing shows in the photos area. I remember this one - one of our members uploaded their baby's photo and then moved out of the ward before I had a chance to verify it. Is there any way to get the site to stop flagging a non-existent photo? I cannot find any way to "refresh" the photos.

Thanks for any suggestions you could provide.
