The problem is, even though I delete the old image, and then upload the new one with the same name, the image never updates and still shows the old image. If I change the name of the file then it shows correctly, but I really don’t want to rename them! My first thought was that the images were just cached on my browser, so I cleared my cache, but the images are still showing the old versions. I tried different browsers and different devices with the same result.
I tried deleting the images via FTP instead of with the WordPress dashboard and still, same thing. When I examine the newly uploaded files via FTP, it is clear by comparing file size that the new image IS there, but for some reason I am still seeing the old image. I am stumped!
This happens EVERY time I upload a new image under an old filename, but an example can be found at https://garnergrows.jettesetliving.com/recipes/guacamole/.
This page is using the image file: https://i0.wp.com/garnergrows.jettesetliving.com/wp-content/uploads/recipes_guacamole.jpg, which has been changed and uploaded with the same name as the old image.
The old image looked like this: https://i0.wp.com/garnergrows.jettesetliving.com/wp-content/uploads/recipes_guacamole3.jpg
The new image SHOULD look like this: https://i0.wp.com/garnergrows.jettesetliving.com/wp-content/uploads/recipes_guacamole2.jpg
When I view these 3 images in FTP, recipes_guacamole.jpg and recipes_guacamole2.jpg have matching file size (126.6kb), and recipes_guacamole3.jpg does not (55.5kb). But when I view the images in any browser or device, recipes_guacamole.jpg visually matches recipes_guacamole3.jpg instead.
Am I just nuts? What is going on here?
I am running WordPress 5.9.2
Your help will be much appreciated!
]]>I deleted the blurred background image on the top of the website and in editor it shows as removed. But still displays even after clearing cache and on separate computers. It’s causing SSL issues as the image hidden there http and I can’t do anything about it.
I think if I remove the section entirely and add new it might work. But I can’t figure out how to reconstruct that section to look the same. I think it may require pro settings I don’t have access too. Any help is much appreciated!
Thank You!

I keep getting this warning from the Google Page Speed test.. but the following image no longer exists on my site!
Optimize images
Properly formatting and compressing images can save many bytes of data.
Optimize the following images to reduce their size by 19KiB (3% reduction).
Losslessly compressing https://newsmom.com/…ds/2015/09/Edited-Header-C-Edit-News.jpg could save 19KiB (3% reduction).
Hide details
Can anyone tell me why google still sees the image when it runs a test? I’ve deleted the image and emptied the cache.

]]>Great widget! – though I have an issue I’m hoping you can please help me with.
I used some images in the widget and then deleted them out of the media library. I added new images and all appear in the widget, except one old (deleted) image appears too (even though it is no longer in my media library).
How can I fix this?
Many thanks!

]]>Hi,
I have a self-hosted WP blog on bluehost.com (edwinli.com/ux/), running a network, and using the Twenty Twelve theme.
For two of my pages (full-width template),
I wanted to have an image appear above the title of the page, as in a post that has a featured image. I learned from a support thread here that that’s not possible currently (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/featured-image-for-pages?replies=6).
I’d created an image that was 960px x 290px.
So then I went with an workaround alternative, by adding that same picture full-sized at the top of the pages (to appear under the page title).
But I wanted to re-edit the image (bringing some of the elements in away from the edges of the image). I edited the image on my computer, deleted the first one from my WP media library, then re-uploaded the image, using the same filename.
Then I added them back to the two pages.
But when I look at the pages in my browsers now (laptop, tablet, smartphone), what I see on those pages is the old image.
When I click on the image on that page, I get the new image at this URL: //i1.wp.com/edwinli.com/ux/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/06/portfolio-header-image-01.jpg
When I click to Edit the image from the Media Library, I see the correct, new image on that Edit page. But when I copy and paste the permalink on that page to see the image (https://edwinli.com/ux/portfolio/portfolio-header-image-01/), I see an attachment page, but it shows the old image.
When I click on that old image on that attachment page, I get the new image (same URL as the previous paragraph).
I lost track of how I got to it, but I managed to get to this URL, which shows the old image: //i1.wp.com/edwinli.com/ux/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/06/portfolio-header-image-01.jpg?fit=960%2C960
Matching up with that last URL is another URL that is almost the same, but shows the new image:
//i1.wp.com/edwinli.com/ux/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/06/portfolio-header-image-01.jpg
User paulwpxp in the www.ads-software.com forum suggested that this might be a JetPack-Photon-related issue.
I don’t know much about how the system works, but it seems as if there is some sort of caching going on that is not being properly updated with the new image. Could it be that the system is confused by the fact that the newly uploaded filename is the same as the old one that I’d deleted?
What can I do to flush the old image from the system? I’d already used “Delete Permanently” on that old image before uploading the new one…
Thanks in advance!
