Thanks for your reply, Donncha. The mystery has been solved. Hostgator installs an MU cache plugin called “Endurance Cache.” I didn’t know about this so I thought WordPress had built-in cache features on the General settings page. I guess WP Super Cache removes that Hostgator plugin. After uninstalling WP Super Cache, I no longer have the cache options that were present previously. I’m glad it’s not “broken.”

Thanks for the helpful download link. I tested all versions from v3.3.7 to v3.3.10. Now they are all working fine. Even v3.3.10. It must have been user error. I will mark this resolved. Thanks again for your reply!

Hm. After additional tests… When I deactivate and delete “Enable Media Replace v3.3.10” and reinstall “v3.3.7” I can replace an image even if it has the same name. The new image is visible on the live site and on the page editor, but the media library still shows the old image. This is at least something I can work wit (although not ideal). When I was running v3.3.10, the new image was not visible on the live site or in the page editor, so I can’t work with that.

Something has changed between v3.3.7 and v3.3.10. It’s causing different behavior between these versions. If you can give me access to v3.3.8 and v3.3.9 I can run additional tests for you to find out exactly when it happens.

By the way, my site is hosted at HostGator, and there’s no method I know for clearing server cache. I don’t think it’s caching anything since the image is changing on the live site. Also I’m not going through a CDN or using any caching plugin. The WordPress cache setting is 0 (no cache). I always clear the browser cache when testing.
