Daily Blog Post Displays Old Images

  • Each day, I am publishing a blog post that displays a schedule as an image within the post. When I attempt to preview or publish the post, it displays a schedule image from several days or weeks ago despite the correct one being in my post. This requires me to go back into the post edit, delete the image, re-add the image and try again. It usually displays an old and random image 10-15 times before finally displaying the proper one at which time I can publish. This process is frustrating and takes about 10 minutes every day. I am currently doing all of the following things to solve the problem but it is not working . . .

    1. I delete, and then permanently delete, the old post from my dashboard
    2. I delete all old images
    3. I “purge all” from my WP dashboard

    Any help in solving this frustrating issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    This sounds like a caching issue. Please disable *all* caching/optimization plugins and see if the problem goes away, including “Endurance Page Cache”.

    I’ve found that uploading a file, example (picture1.png) and then deleting it and then re-uploading a new picture with the same name (picture1.png) will still show the old picture.

    Try renaming your new picture, not the same name as the old picture and see if this helps?

    Regards.

    HAH! AHA! You’re using the Jetpack image CDN. If you upload an image *with the same name as an existing one*, Jetpack will ignore it. Since you’re serving images via Jetpack, that won’t work. You need to either (1) upload under a different name or (2) disable the Jetpack image CDN.

    I’ll be able to test a theory with my daily post early tomorrow morning. My file names are very similar but not identical. For example, today’s file was ‘Screen Shot 2021-01-20 at 5.55.21 AM’ while yesterday’s was ‘Screen Shot 2021-01-19 at 5.33.21 AM’ Do you all still believe I should explore the JetPack recommendation, the caching recommendation, or both? Much appreicated!

    As an FYI to those helping…it seems that the issue was with an option in the JetPack Plugin regarding site optimization (site accelerator speeding up image load times). I’ll attempt to confirm by isolating the issue during tomorrow’s post. Appreciate everyone’s insights here – stay well!
