[RESOLVED] Changes affecting InstantCommons function?

Has anything changed in the way Commons feeds to an outside Wiki? All the pictures disappeared from our wiki on Saturday 31 May 2014, with no change in programming (and the host denies changing or limiting anything). All the pictures other than the site's logo are from Commons (and we encourage our users to develop that resource).

It's been so long I can't remember which MediaWiki version we use.

And you can uninstall the stringfunction extension because some of it was merged into ParserFunctions extension

And to enable the integrated string function in parser function just add this to LocalSettings.php

$wgPFEnableStringFunctions = true;

And please also add

$wgUpgradeKey = 'set-me-to-some-random-string';

This to LocalSettings.php but please do change upgrade key to something else that no one else knows.

Although it is kind of off-topic: A complete Upgrade guide is already available.

It worked! The functionality is greatly improved too, and the extensions slip in without a hitch. Thanks.
